Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act Passes out of Congress

The Maternal and Child Health Stillbirth Prevention Act of 2024, HR 4581, passed through both the House and the Senate, and now awaits President Biden’s signature before it becomes law. The bipartisan bill amends the Maternal and Child Health Service Block Grant program to allow states to use those dollars for stillbirth prevention and research activities but does not include additional funding.
