This week has been National Infertility Awareness Week, and it was also the week those supporting the Tennessee Pro-Family Building Act coming before committees in both houses of the state legislature saw the bill get rolled to next year.
The act, if passed, would require insurance companies to cover infertility treatments for state employees and the fully insured market. Troy resident Katelyn Kelly said she and Tennessee Fertility Advocates look forward to bringing the Tennessee Pro-Family Building Act back to the Capitol next year. In the meantime they plan to continue educating members on the disease of infertility and why they feel this bill is needed to help build families in Tennessee.
