HB25-1259 is NOW LAW
Thank you for helping protect access to fertility care in Colorado

This new law ensures all Coloradans can pursue family-building options with greater security and without unnecessary barriers. Colorado Fertility Advocates (CFA) proudly supported
HB25-1259 because we believe every Coloradan deserves equitable access to fertility and reproductive health care. Our board, members (including many of you!), and other Coloradans who have benefited from IVF and other reproductive treatments courageously shared stories to show why protecting access to IVF and fertility treatments matters for all families.
Over 10,000 individuals voiced their support for this bill to Colorado legislators, and thanks to your advocacy, HB25-1259 was signed into law by Governor Polis on May 7, 2025. Learn more about the bill and why CFA supported it here.

At Colorado Fertility Advocates, we take action - not just make promises - to protect IVF and fertility care. Here are a few, recent examples:

• We supported HB25-1259. Its passing ensured Colorado remains a leader in equitable, inclusive fertility care so all can build the families they dream of.

• We offer valuable education and advocacy efforts that empower our community. Take a quick look around this website (including our suggested podcasts section) for reliable (and relatable) information to support wherever you are on your journey.

• Your story matters now more than ever!
