Hawaii HB1858 amends fetal death reporting requirements to improve data quality and reduce administrative burdens.

Hawaii HB1858 modifies the state's fetal death reporting laws to enhance data accuracy and ease administrative processes. The bill mandates that a certificate of fetal death be filed within fourteen days for fetuses of twenty weeks gestation or more, or those weighing at least three hundred fifty grams. It exempts fetal deaths of less than twenty weeks gestation, those under three hundred fifty grams in weight if gestational age is unknown, and those resulting from intentional terminations of pregnancy.
