SF 1167 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Maternal death studies requirements clarification

This bill clarifies that Minnesota's Commissioner of Health must conduct maternal death studies, changing the requirement from optional ("may") to mandatory ("must"). It directly affects the Minnesota Department of Health, requiring them to use these studies to improve medical, health, and welfare systems. The key provision is the explicit mandate for these studies to help reduce preventable maternal deaths in the state. The bill does not create new programs but ensures existing requirements are clear and actionable.
