An Act To Eliminate Miscarriage Reporting Requirements

This bill eliminates a state law requiring healthcare providers to report all miscarriages occurring before 20 weeks of gestation to the Department of Health and Human Services. It directly affects doctors, clinics, and hospitals that previously had to submit these reports. The key change repeals specific sections of Maine law (22 MRSA §1596) that mandated this reporting. The policy change removes an administrative burden without altering medical care standards or patient access.
