The legislation, known as SB2215, was passed on May 31, 2025 during the general assembly session 104.
According to the Illinois General Assembly site, the legislature summarized the bill's official text as follows: "Amends the Department of Public Health Act. Provides that the Department of Public Health shall provide the following information for physicians to distribute to women over the age of 25 years, or women interested about fertility options on blood tests to predict their ovarian reserve: (1) an overview on what is ovarian reserve; (2) an overview on different types of ovarian reserve testing; (3) a list of healthcare centers or hospitals that are available to women for testing; and (4) information on potential results and what resources are available post-testing."
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
In essence, this bill amends the Department of Public Health Act, mandating that the Illinois Department of Public Health provide information for physicians to distribute to women over 25 and those interested in fertility options. It requires the department to supply an overview of ovarian reserve, details on various types of ovarian reserve testing, and a list of healthcare facilities available for such testing. Additionally, it outlines information on potential test results and available post-testing resources. The objective is to inform women about their fertility options through accessible healthcare guidance.
The bill was sponsored by Rep. Anne Stava-Murray (Democrat-81st District), Rep. Barbara Hernandez (Democrat-50th District), and Rep. Brad Stephens (Republican-20th District), along with nine other sponsors.
Bills in Illinois follow a multi-step legislative process, beginning with introduction in either the House or Senate, followed by committee review, floor debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching the governor for approval or veto. The General Assembly operates on a biennial schedule, and while typically thousands of bills are introduced each session, only a fraction successfully pass through the process to become law.
