Bill > HB3269

This bill modifies the Pregnancy-Associated Mortality Review Board by expanding its membership from eighteen to twenty-two members, ensuring a more diverse representation including at least one member from each congressional district and reflecting various demographics and geographic areas, and it also formally defines "maternity care deserts" as counties with limited or no access to maternity care services or obstetric clinicians. The board's duties are expanded to include identifying these maternity care deserts, collecting more detailed data on prenatal and postnatal care, and investigating strategies to reduce racial inequities in maternal deaths, with reports now required to disaggregate data by race, ethnicity, language, nationality, age, zip code, and the presence of maternity care deserts.
