2010 Senate Bill 1563 ↩

Senate Roll Call 537: Passed

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.
