I am proud to be the co-sponsor of SB 246 also known as the “MOMnibus 2.0” bill to reduce maternal mortality.
This bill covers maternal mental health and substance abuse disorders which are the leading causes of the increase in maternal mortality.
Mothers will have access to postpartum mental health screenings, a perinatal provider consult line, and peer support.
The bill will also provide investments in free standing birthing centers.
A good bill for Moms and babies, it comes out of committee with an “Ought to Pass” and now heads to the full Senate for a vote.
