Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

Bereavement training counts for health workers
Beginning May 6, 2026, the state offers optional training on supporting families after pregnancy or infant loss. Health workers in emergency care, OB/GYN, and labor and delivery can take it. This training counts toward required continuing education credits. It is optional, not a new mandate.
Hospitals must support parents after loss
Beginning May 6, 2026, hospitals and birth centers must follow bereavement rules after pregnancy or infant loss. The rules can require memory-making, grief counseling, and referrals to support groups. They can also require access to a cooling device when appropriate, and time and space with the infant. Facilities must follow these rules to get or keep a license.
Law takes effect May 6, 2026
The law takes effect on May 6, 2026. That date starts the new bereavement rules and training options.
