Act 137, on 06/24/2026 (Gov. Msg. No. 1238).
Summary
The act revises Hawaii’s vital‑statistics statutes to require a certificate of fetal death for fetuses of 20 weeks gestation or more (or weighing at least 350 g) to be filed within 14 days, while making reporting optional for earlier miscarriages. It also adds procedures for documentation to parents, late filing of cause, and permits for disposition. The changes aim to improve data on fetal deaths, especially among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, to support prevention efforts.
