	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2757, as introduced, Bradford. Oocyte donation: advertisement.
   Existing law requires specified notice to be given when posting an

financial payment or compensation of any kind.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 125325 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   125325.  (a) The person or entity posting an advertisement seeking
oocyte donation associated with the delivery of fertility treatment
that includes assisted oocyte production and a financial payment or
compensation of any kind, shall include the following notice in a
clear and conspicuous manner:

   "Egg donation involves a screening process. Not all potential egg
donors are selected. Not all selected egg donors receive the monetary
amounts or compensation advertised. As with any medical procedure,
there may be risks associated with human egg donation. Before an egg
donor agrees to begin the egg donation process, and signs a legally
binding contract, she is required to receive specific information on
the known risks of egg donation. Consultation with your doctor prior
to entering into a donor contract is advised."

   (b) A summary pertaining to oocyte donation procedures  ,
 shall be provided, as required pursuant to Section 125335,
to all potential egg donors before signing a legally binding contract
to become an egg donor  ,  or beginning 
any  egg donation procedures, as part of compliance with the
informed consent requirements.
   (c) Persons or entities that certify compliance with the American
Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) guidelines by registering
with ASRM are exempt from the notice requirements set forth in
subdivision (a). Use of the exemption when the guidelines are
violated shall constitute false advertising.
   (d) Donors recruited through the advertisement shall undergo the
same disclosure, counseling, and informed consent process, as
required pursuant to Section 125335, as donors recruited by those
exempt from subdivision (a).
