Expands reporting requirements for the death of a newborn after surrender to a safety device.
This bill amends the existing law to expand the reporting requirements for the death of a newborn after being surrendered to a safety device. It mandates that funeral directors report the death within 72 hours, and requires the use of a web-based application system for these reports. The deceased infant must be listed as "Baby Doe," and personal information of the infant or parents must not be reported. The bill also ensures that physicians do not neglect or refuse to certify the death record or provide necessary information to the funeral director.
