AI Summary
This bill, known as the SHINE for Autumn Act of 2025, aims to improve research and data collection on stillbirths by authorizing federal funding and establishing new guidelines for studying and reporting stillbirth data. The bill would provide $5 million annually from 2026 to 2030 for states to conduct surveillance and collect data on stillbirths, with strict privacy protections to ensure that all collected information is deidentified and does not disclose individual patient or healthcare provider information. The Secretary of Health and Human Services would be tasked with developing guidelines for state health departments and vital statistics units on collecting comprehensive stillbirth data, including clinical history and postmortem examination information, and creating public educational materials about stillbirths. The bill requires consultation with a wide range of professionals and stakeholders, including healthcare providers, mental health experts, advocacy organizations, and individuals who have experienced stillbirths. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Secretary publish a report with educational guidelines on stillbirths and their risk factors within five years of the Act's enactment, which will be made publicly available on a Department of Health and Human Services website. The overall goal is to enhance understanding of stillbirths, improve data collection processes, and provide better support and information for affected families and healthcare providers.
