MN HF4837

Health care providers must offer pregnant individuals experiencing preterm labor or birth five treatment options: tocolytics, admission to a facility with level III or IV neonatal intensive care, magnesium for fetal neurological protection, corticosteroids for fetal lung development, and life-sustaining measures including full resuscitation for pre-viability infants.

Facilities and licensing bodies cannot take disciplinary action against health care providers who carry out these treatment options when requested by the pregnant individual.

Health care providers are granted immunity from civil liability, administrative fines, and penalties for providing these authorized treatment options at the pregnant individual's request.
