Establishes the "Missouri Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act"

HB 1951, the "Missouri Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act," requires all Missouri hospitals, clinics, and health care facilities providing perinatal care (pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum care) to implement evidence-based implicit bias training for staff. The training must cover identifying unconscious biases, understanding historical oppression of minority groups, cultural competency, health inequities, and reproductive justice, with initial training and biennial refreshers required. The bill also mandates the state health department to track and publish every three years data on severe maternal morbidity (like hemorrhage or preeclampsia) and pregnancy-related deaths, disaggregated by race, ethnicity, and geographic region. This directly affects health care providers and facilities serving pregnant individuals across Missouri.
