AN ACT ALLOWING CONFIDENTIAL BIRTHS.

HB 6568 would allow individuals to give birth at hospitals or birthing centers without having to share their name with the facility. This directly affects people experiencing crisis pregnancies who may avoid seeking medical care due to fear of identification. The bill removes the requirement for name disclosure during the birth process, aiming to promote access to care. Its stated purpose is to reduce infant abandonment, support informed consent, and safeguard the health of both the birthing person and infant.
