What this bill does
The SHINE for Autumn Act of 2025, introduced in the Senate, aims to improve how the U.S. studies and collects data on stillbirths. It would allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to states for collecting and analyzing stillbirth data, including risk factors. This data would need to be deidentified to protect privacy. The bill also requires the Secretary to issue guidelines to state health departments on collecting stillbirth data from healthcare providers and develop public educational materials.
This legislation affects states and their vital statistics units, as well as healthcare providers and individuals who have experienced a stillbirth, by aiming to standardize and improve data collection and reporting. It also authorizes appropriations for these activities over several fiscal years, starting in 2026.
The bill was introduced in the Senate and has been referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
