House Committee Favorably Reported
Summary
The Daniel Waters Act adds a new code section that obligates hospitals that receive state funding for perinatal bereavement care to provide counseling resources and any available bereavement devices to parents and family members after a fetal death, neonatal death, or stillbirth. The Department of Public Health will create a perinatal bereavement care initiative, provide training and devices to qualifying hospitals, and recognize hospitals that meet the standards. The law takes effect only if appropriations are made and is repealed if not funded by July 1 2029.
