Establishes the "Missouri Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act"

This bill, known as the "Missouri Dignity in Pregnancy and Childbirth Act," requires hospitals and other healthcare facilities providing perinatal care to implement implicit bias programs for their staff. It also mandates that the Department of Health and Senior Services track and publish data on severe maternal health issues and pregnancy-related deaths, disaggregated by race and ethnicity. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to require that death certificates include information on whether the deceased was pregnant at the time of death or within the preceding year.
