Summary

The bill forces any Utah health‑care facility that offers birthing services to create and post clear policies on how they handle preterm births, to tell expectant parents about their capabilities, and to report yearly statistics to the state. It also gives parents the right to request transfers and to consult with neonatologists, and it obligates prenatal providers to discuss preterm‑birth risks before 20 weeks. The goal is to improve transparency and outcomes for premature infants.
