Bill > HB2184

This bill modifies Arizona law regarding fetal death certificates and informed consent for abortions. Specifically, it amends the requirements for submitting a fetal death certificate, now mandating its submission for any fetal death occurring after twenty completed weeks of gestation, or at or before twenty completed weeks if requested by the mother, replacing the previous requirement based on fetal weight. Additionally, the bill updates the informed consent requirements for abortions by adding information that must be provided to a woman regarding her right to determine the final disposition of bodily remains, including the option to transfer them to a funeral home and information about available disposition methods. It also clarifies that the term "fetus" in certain sections related to abortion information should be referred to as "unborn child."
