Expands reporting requirements for the death of a newborn after surrender to a safety device.

This bill amends the born alive infant protection act to expand reporting requirements for the death of a newborn after surrender to a safety device. It mandates that the death of an infant who was born alive following an attempted abortion and was surrendered to an emergency service provider or a newborn safety device, and then died, must be reported in the same manner as for any death. The deceased infant shall be listed as "Baby Doe" and no information that would directly identify the deceased infant or the deceased infant's parents shall be reported.
