USDCC's Statement in Response to “Private sperm bank admits to giving sperm samples to FBI without donors’ knowledge,” LGBTQ+ Nation, May 21, 2025

Colorado’s HB25-1259 purports to address threats to IVF in Colorado, but diving into what the bill actually does makes clear it is almost entirely focused on gutting key provisions of Colorado’s “Donor-Conceived Persons and Families of Donor-Conceived Persons Protection Act” (DCPPA).

USDCC submits testimony to the Hawaii Senate Committee on the Judiciary, urging members to vote no on SB1231 unless amended to include updated Article 9 of the Uniform Parentage Act or to remove outdated Article 9 (Part 10 of the bill) in its entirety.
USDCC was pleased to submit written comments in support of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) draft guidance on Donor Eligibility for Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps).
