Modifies provisions relating to spontaneous fetal death reports

Summary

The bill revises Missouri’s rules for reporting spontaneous fetal deaths (stillbirths) of 20 weeks or more. It says that if a fetal death occurs without a doctor present and a licensed physician has previously written that the pregnancy was nonviable, that written note is enough proof for the report, and the physician must file it within seven days of being notified. The change aims to streamline reporting when medical attendance is absent.
