Modifying the vital statistics definition of fetal death.

HB 2177 amends Washington State's definition of "fetal death" in vital records laws. The bill specifies that a fetal death must show no signs of life after expulsion/extraction and either meet 20+ weeks of gestation (calculated from last menstrual period) or weigh 350 grams, while excluding induced pregnancy terminations. This change affects how medical providers and health departments record and report fetal deaths for official statistics. The amendment ensures consistency in tracking fetal deaths for public health data without altering abortion access or medical procedures.
