Children: protection; reporting death of a newborn after surrender to a newborn safety device; expand. Amends sec. 2843 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.2843). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4067'25

HB 4068 modifies Michigan's death reporting law for newborns surrendered through designated safety devices (like hospital safe-haven locations). If a newborn born alive after an attempted abortion is surrendered under Michigan's Safe Delivery of Newborns Law (MCL 712.1-712.20) and later dies, funeral directors must report the death as "Baby Doe" with no identifying details - such as parent names, addresses, or the informant's information. This change ensures anonymity for parents who use the surrender option while maintaining standard death reporting procedures. The bill applies specifically to infants surrendered through the safety device process, not to general infant deaths.
