Bill overview
This bill expands reporting requirements for the death of a newborn, particularly those surrendered to emergency services or newborn safety devices. It clarifies that a funeral director must report the death of an infant born alive following an attempted abortion who was surrendered, and requires the death record to be certified within specific timeframes. The reporting process includes measures to protect the privacy of the deceased infant and their parents by omitting identifying information.
