Establishes the Office of the Healthy Newborn Ombudsman to assist parents during pregnancy and infancy.
The Mothers and Preborns Act creates the Office of the Healthy Newborn Ombudsman within the Department of Health and Human Services. The ombudsman will assist parents by maintaining records of state programs, referring parents to appropriate services, and acting as a liaison between parents and programs. The ombudsman will also review and attempt to resolve complaints from parents about the programs. Additionally, the act mandates that materials provided to pregnant women before an abortion include information from the ombudsman's office.
