Instead of depending on interpretations of what it says, let's just go to the bill itself.

Essentially it adds this whole clause, in two spots, to existing law:

(g) Coverage for the treatment of infertility shall be offered and provided without discrimination on the basis of age, ancestry, color, disability, domestic partner status, gender, gender expression, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.

That's not the section cited in the article.
(b) For purposes of this section, “infertility” means either (1) the presence of a demonstrated condition recognized by a licensed physician and surgeon as a cause of infertility, or (2) the inability to conceive a pregnancy or to carry a pregnancy to a live birth after a year or more of regular sexual relations without contraception.
So no, the definition of infertility here (the condition) has nothing to do with artificial fertilization/implantation, therefore this becomes a treatment for a nonexistent condition.

Hopefully it’s not limited by cardinality. A threesome should have a legal right to produce offspring with 69 chromosomes.
