Washington SB6025 updates the definition of fetal death.

Washington SB6025 amends the definition of fetal death to specify that it means any product of conception that shows no evidence of life after complete expulsion or extraction from the individual who gave birth. The definition includes criteria such as the absence of breathing, beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. It also specifies that fetal death is not an induced termination of pregnancy and must have completed twenty or more weeks of gestation or weigh three hundred fifty grams or more if the gestational age is unknown.
