The bill also temporarily authorizes the Department of Transportation to award grants to state and local law enforcement for the purchase and use of drones not manufactured or assembled in, or containing software or critical components from, specified foreign countries of concern. Finally, the bill directs the Department of Defense (DOD) to consider, through annual review of its list of Chinese military companies, whether any company that manufactures drones should be included in that list.

Right to IVF Act This bill provides a statutory right to access fertility treatments (e.g., in vitro fertilization). Specifically, under the bill, individuals have the right to access fertility treatments and to make decisions about the use of their reproductive genetic material (e.g., embryos) without limitation or interference. Health care providers and insurers have the right to provide and cover these services, respectively. Manufacturers of applicable drugs or devices also have the right to provide these drugs or devices. The bill supersedes state laws that limit or otherwise interfere with the provision of fertility treatments as set out under this bill, including laws that require medically unnecessary procedures or services in conjunction with fertility treatments or that restrict the ability of individuals to receive fertility treatments based on marital status or sex (including sexual orientation or gender identity). The bill does not affect state health and safety regulations for medical facilities or health care providers that are in accordance with widely accepted and evidence-based medical standards and for which the purpose cannot be achieved in another, nonrestrictive manner. The Department of Justice may bring civil actions against states, individuals, or entities that implement or enforce limitations or requirements that violate this bill. Individuals and health care providers may also bring civil actions. In addition, the bill provides for coverage of fertility treatments under Medicare and Medicaid and for members of the uniformed services and veterans.

Each individual must be assigned a care coordinator to help the individual with respect to benefits and health care decisions. The bill provides funds for states and the CMS to implement this program. It also provides funds for outreach and other activities to raise awareness about the program.
