FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE: HB1670 by Sheets (Relating to the possession and removal of a placenta from a hospital
or birthing center.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Health and Safety Code to require that a hospital or birthing center
allow a woman who has given birth in the facility or her spouse to take possession of the delivered
placenta in certain circumstances. The bill would require the Department of State Health Services
(DSHS) to develop an acknowledgement form and educational information for facilities to provide
to a woman or her spouse who take possession of the delivered placenta. DSHS indicates that the
development of these materials could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources. HHSC
indicates that costs associated with rulemaking activities could be absorbed within the agency's
current resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
