Bill Summary
Relating to maternal health and safety, pregnancy-related deaths, and maternal morbidity, including postpartum depression.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Health and Safety Code to expand the membership and duties of the Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Task Force, which studies pregnancy-related deaths and severe maternal morbidity in Texas. The bill requires the task force to hold some public meetings, analyze socioeconomic disparities in pregnancy-related deaths, and make recommendations to reduce these deaths and severe maternal morbidity. The bill also requires the Health and Human Services Commission to provide screening and educational materials related to substance use and domestic violence during pregnancy, and to study ways to reduce costs and improve outcomes related to severe maternal morbidity. Additionally, the bill extends the task force's sunset date from 2019 to 2023 and requires the Department of State Health Services to report on the processes and procedures for collecting accurate cause of death information related to maternal mortality.
