Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 32.1-258.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 32.1-258.1. Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth; requirements.
Upon the request of either individual listed as the parent on
a report of fetal death in the Commonwealth as defined in § 32.1-264, the State
Registrar shall issue a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth for
unintended, intrauterine fetal deaths occurring after a gestational period of
20 weeks or more. The requesting parent may, but shall not be required to,
provide a name for the stillborn child on the Certificate of Birth Resulting in
Stillbirth. The Board of Health shall prescribe a reasonable fee to cover
the administrative cost and preparation of such certificate. This section
shall apply retroactively to any circumstances that would have resulted in the
issuance of a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth, as prescribed by
the Board.
