↓Restricts abortion accessmodel confidence 60%
Mandates that hospitals inform the gestational parent of rights to direct burial, entombment or cremation of fetal remains from spontaneous fetal death at any gestational age, and requires permits for disposition except for products of conception under 20 weeks in certain procedures.
In the case of a spontaneous fetal death at any gestational age, the attending physician or a person designated by the hospital shall ensure that the gestational parent of the fetus is informed of the right to access the report of fetal death and to direct either burial, entombment or cremation of the fetal remains.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends fetal death registration and disposition rules to require information on and option for burial/cremation of remains at any gestational age, adds fetal remains to cadaver burial duties, and carves out an exception only for under-20-week products from operative procedures; this expands recognition of fetal personhood in law and imposes new requirements on providers and parents, with no provisions on other listed topics.
