An Act providing for the final disposition of fetal remains; and imposing penalties.
AI Summary
This bill, the Final Disposition of Fetal Remains Act, establishes requirements for the final disposition of fetal remains after a fetal death. It defines key terms like "fetal death," "fetal remains," and "health care facility." The bill requires health care facilities to provide for the final disposition of fetal remains, either through cremation or interment, unless the parent selects a different location, in which case the parent is responsible for the costs. The bill also allows for simultaneous cremation of unclaimed fetal remains and exempts the Department of Health from issuing a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth. Violations of the act are subject to penalties under the Vital Statistics Law of 1953.
