Washington, D.C.- Today, Representatives Stephanie Bice (OK-05), Julia Letlow (LA-05), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA-06) reintroduced their bipartisan legislation, Protecting Families from Fertility Fraud Act. This legislation would establish a new federal crime for knowingly misrepresenting the nature or source of DNA used in any assisted reproductive technology procedure.
Last Action Date Listed: April 15, 2026. Action: Mrs. Bice (for herself, Ms. Letlow, and Ms. Houlahan) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Assessments
Bice publicly reintroduced the Protecting Families from Fertility Fraud Act and the bill was introduced and referred in the 119th Congress, which is concrete effort toward the promise. The available record does not show enactment or the bill being signed into law, so the commitment is not yet fulfilled.
Bice promised to work to get the Protecting Families from Fertility Fraud Act signed into law. She materially advanced the promise by reintroducing H.R. 8295 in the 119th Congress on April 15, 2026, with referral to the House Judiciary Committee, and publicly promoted the bill. However, the available official and legislative-tracking evidence shows the bill has only been introduced and referred, not passed by Congress or signed into law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised enactment has not occurred, this is not delivered, with effort credit.
