Bill > LD94

This bill seeks to eliminate miscarriage reporting requirements in Maine state law by amending Section 1596 of Title 22 of the Maine Revised Statutes. Specifically, the bill removes the phrase "and miscarriage" from the section headnote, effectively signaling that miscarriage data will no longer be a component of the state's data collection efforts. The bill repeals two specific subsections related to miscarriage reporting: subsection 1, paragraph B, and subsection 3, which likely contained the detailed requirements for reporting miscarriage data. By removing these provisions, the bill reduces the administrative burden on healthcare providers and eliminates the mandatory documentation of miscarriages, potentially offering increased privacy for individuals experiencing pregnancy loss.
