SHINE for Autumn Act of 2025

This bill would let the federal Secretary of Health and Human Services give grants to states to track stillbirths, build local capacity to study stillbirth data, and collect data on stillbirth risk factors. Data collected with these funds would have to be deidentified so that patients and their health care providers cannot be identified. The Secretary would also issue guidelines to state health departments and vital records offices on collecting stillbirth data, and would create public educational materials on stillbirth. The bill authorizes $5 million per year for the grants and $1 million per year for the guidelines and materials for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, and requires a public report on stillbirth educational guidelines within five years.
