Update vital records of live births and fetal deaths
This bill updates Minnesota's laws for registering delayed birth records and reporting fetal deaths. It allows delayed birth records to be registered for deceased individuals up to seven years after birth if sufficient evidence is provided, with the record marked as deceased. The bill also clarifies who must report fetal deaths, adding medical examiners and coroners to the list of responsible parties while maintaining the five-day reporting requirement for pregnancies of 20 weeks or more. These changes affect hospitals, medical professionals, parents, and vital records officials in Minnesota.
