SB 647 Stillbirth; modifies law relating to certificate of birth resulting therein.
Introduced by: Jay O'Brien | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth. Modifies the law relating to certificates of birth resulting in stillbirth to provide retroactive application to any circumstances occurring after July 1, 2003, (the effective date of the law), in which the individual listed as the mother or father on a report of fetal death occurring in the Commonwealth did not have knowledge of his right to request a certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth. The bill also revises the law to provide, consistent with the Board of Health's regulations, that when no report of spontaneous fetal death is available to establish the event, documentation from the following sources is acceptable: the physician or licensed nurse midwife who provided care to the mother, documentation from the medical record maintained at the hospital of occurrence, copy of the report of spontaneous fetal death, or documentation from the funeral service director (if such services were provided).
