2007 House Bill 4647

Establish disposal of fetus regulations

Introduced in the House

April 24, 2007

Introduced by Rep. Bill Huizenga (R-90)

To require a health facility to take into account the expressed wishes of the parents of a dead fetus, or just the mother if she is unmarried, and seek authorization before arranging the final disposition of the fetus. The bill would prohibit the cremation of an aborted fetus with medical waste. In other words, a fetus would have to be cremated separately.
