Indiana HB 1295

Provides that if a born alive infant is transported to a hospital with an appropriate perinatal level of care, the woman must be offered an opportunity to be transported to the same hospital. Requires a local prosecuting attorney to investigate and seek criminal prosecution if the prosecuting attorney has probable cause to believe that a health care provider may have knowingly or intentionally: (1) violated the requirements concerning the treatment and care of a born alive infant or mother or the professional standards of practice through the health care provider's actions or inactions; and (2) caused harm or death to the born alive infant or mother.
