Torts: liability; wrongful death of embryo or fetus; remove exceptions to liability. Amends sec. 2922a of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2922a).
HB 4670 would make individuals liable for negligence causing miscarriage, stillbirth, or fetal death, directly affecting those whose actions result in pregnancy loss. The bill establishes that negligence leading to these outcomes creates grounds for a civil lawsuit, while explicitly excluding medical procedures (with consent or in emergencies), the pregnant person's own actions, and lawful medication from liability. It clarifies this law does not prevent other legal claims under existing statutes.
