Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 530 includes a few key changes regarding the reporting of fetal deaths to the CDC. It emphasizes the confidentiality of the mother's residential address and zip code, which won't be shared with the CDC, while still allowing for the release of other information like birth years and fetal delivery dates. These updates are important because they help protect the mother's privacy while ensuring necessary data collection for health statistics. The bill will become effective on July 2, 2026.
