First reading: referred to Committee on Public Health
Summary
The bill would force hospitals to tell women in premature labor what level of newborn and high‑risk pregnancy care they can provide, and to give that information before admission if the hospital cannot meet the woman's needs. It also requires hospitals to offer mothers the chance to be transferred to the same facility if their newborn is moved, and lets local prosecutors pursue criminal charges against providers who knowingly break these rules and cause harm.
