Establishes a duty to inform certain patients about the risks associated with cesarean section for patients undergoing planned and unplanned primary cesarean sections

The bill was amended to clarify that the duty to inform applies to both planned and unplanned primary cesarean sections. The required disclosure text for planned sections was significantly rewritten to emphasize that vaginal birth is preferable when medically safe and to explicitly state that patients should never request a cesarean. The text for unplanned sections was updated to highlight the benefits of vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) and the risks of repeat surgeries. Additionally, the bill's effective date provision was modified to authorize the Department of Health to finalize necessary rules before the law takes effect.
