Bill > HF2095

This bill modifies terminology for pregnant persons, standards for chemical dependency in pregnancy and prenatal substance use, specifies that prenatal substance use does not itself constitute neglect or maltreatment, modifies prenatal substance use reporting requirements, and establishes informed consent requirements for parent and newborn infant toxicology tests and drug or alcohol screenings. The bill amends several sections of Minnesota Statutes, including the definition of "chemically dependent person," the definition of "neglect," and reporting and informed consent requirements related to prenatal substance use and toxicology testing.
