Hospitals; imposing certain duties on hospital in cases of fetal death or miscarriage; requiring State Department of Health to publish certain form. Effective date.

Summary

The bill requires any Oklahoma hospital where a fetal death occurs or a woman is treated for a miscarriage to give the patient (or her designee) a copy of a state‑issued form and to tell them they can request the appropriate death or stillbirth certificates. The Oklahoma Department of Health must create and post that form online, explaining how to obtain the certificates and providing vital‑records contact details. This ensures families have clear access to vital records after a loss.
