AI Generated Summary
This legislative bill requires that health insurance plans in Minnesota cover vasectomies. Specifically, it amends the current Minnesota law regarding contraceptive coverage by health plans to include vasectomies alongside other preventive measures against unintended pregnancies, like other forms of contraception. The bill aims to ensure that individuals have access to a broader range of contraceptive services, which now explicitly includes vasectomies. Before this amendment, vasectomies were excluded from the definition of "contraceptive services" covered by health plans.
