SB 1776 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to spontaneous fetal death reports

SB 1776 modifies Missouri's reporting requirements for spontaneous fetal deaths (stillbirths) occurring at 20+ weeks gestation or weighing 350 grams or more. It mandates that medical institutions, attending physicians, or medical examiners report such deaths within seven days to the state registrar. The bill also grants parents (or siblings if parents are deceased) the right to request a stillbirth certificate based on the filed report. This change directly affects hospitals, healthcare providers, and families experiencing stillbirth in Missouri.
