Relating to: reporting of sex and fetal anomaly following induced abortion.
SB 406 requires healthcare providers performing induced abortions to report the sex of the fetus (if determinable by visual inspection) and whether a fetal anomaly existed, including its nature. This bill directly affects abortion providers in Wisconsin who must submit this data to the state health department. The reporting requirements integrate with an existing fetal anomaly registry that tracks diagnoses of birth defects in infants and children. The bill amends statutes to mandate these specific data points for inclusion in the state's registry system and related reports.
