Bill > SB6025

This bill updates the definition of "fetal death" within Washington state law to ensure that the gestational age, which is the duration of pregnancy, is calculated using objective and clinically accurate criteria rather than relying solely on the date of the last menstrual period. Specifically, it amends RCW 70.58A.010, which defines various terms related to vital records, to change how gestational age is determined for a fetal death. The bill also includes provisions for an expiration date for one section and an effective date for another, indicating a phased implementation of these changes.
