Modernizing the child fatality statute.

SB 5163 modernizes Washington state's child fatality statute, primarily affecting local health departments that conduct reviews of child deaths and the various agencies that provide data for these reviews. It changes the terminology from "child mortality" to "child fatality" and expands the age range for reviewed deaths to include children up to 19 years old. The bill enhances local health departments' ability to request and receive specific data, such as medical and social services records, from various entities for their reviews. It also reinforces confidentiality protections for identifying information and review documents collected during these processes.
