Bill > SB530

This bill modifies how fetal death information is reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by the division of vital records administration, a state agency responsible for maintaining official records. Specifically, it prohibits the release of certain personal identifying information about the parents, such as their full names, birth month and day, medical record numbers, and residential or mailing addresses, when reporting a fetal death to the CDC. However, the bill allows for the release of the parents' birth year and the date of fetal delivery. Additionally, the bill updates the terminology used on the fetal death form, changing the description of a mother's name from "maiden surname" to "name prior to first marriage or civil union," which is a broader and more inclusive term.
