Bill Summary
A bill for an act relating to health; clarifying requirements for maternal death studies; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 145.901, subdivision 1.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies and strengthens the Minnesota Department of Health's requirements for conducting maternal death studies. Specifically, the bill changes the language from stating that the commissioner of health "may" conduct maternal death studies to "must" conduct these studies. The purpose of these studies remains the same: to help plan, implement, and evaluate medical, health, and welfare service systems with the ultimate goal of reducing preventable maternal deaths in Minnesota. By changing "may" to "must," the bill mandates that the health commissioner take an active role in studying maternal deaths, which could potentially lead to more systematic and comprehensive efforts to understand and prevent maternal mortality in the state.
