OH HB754

Requires registration of all fetal deaths in Ohio with local vital statistics registrars, expanding current requirements that only mandated registration for fetal deaths at 20 weeks gestation or later

Creates a new "certificate of life" that must be filed within 10 calendar days whenever a fetal heartbeat is detected during examination of a pregnant woman, with the pregnant woman receiving an immediate printed copy

Expands the definition of "fetal death" to explicitly include abortion, while excluding medical services provided for treatment of spontaneous miscarriage or stillbirth

Requires fetal death certificates to indicate whether the cause was abortion, spontaneous miscarriage, or stillbirth in the medical certification portion

Directs the Ohio Department of Health to adopt rules establishing the certificate of life form, a system to match certificates of life with any subsequent fetal death certificates, and protocols to avoid redundant filings
