HF 4115 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requirements for educating parents and caregivers about dangers of shaking infants and young children modified, and money appropriated.

This bill requires Minnesota hospitals to show parents a video about the dangers of shaking infants and young children before discharging their newborns, and it directs health care providers to use approved educational materials during well-baby visits for children up to age one. The state health commissioner will approve and provide these videos and materials at cost, while also establishing a review process to ensure the content remains accurate and addresses essential safety topics. The legislation also includes funding for the commissioner to support these educational activities and mandates periodic reviews of the materials every five years starting in 2026.
