Hospitals shall adopt, implement and periodically update standard protocols for the management of fetal demise. Such protocols shall require the hospital to determine whether a pregnant person is experiencing an emergency medical condition in relation to fetal demise, and upon making a diagnosis of an emergency medical condition, admit the pregnant person to the hospital or treat them in the emergency room for close observation, continuous monitoring and stabilizing treatment until it is deemed medically safe for discharge or transfer to another medical facility or unit, if necessary, in accordance with the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA).
