introduced the Bereaved Parents Rights Act, legislation that ensures hospitals and freestanding birth centers provide clear information about the rights that grieving parents have regarding the cremation or burial of their miscarried or stillborn child
The Bereaved Parents Rights Act ensures parents have the information, guidance, options, and time they need to make deeply personal decisions.
Evidence
“Cammack Introduces Bicameral Legislation Defending Parents Rights After Pregnancy Loss” (May 13, 2026): “Rep. Kat Cammack (FL-03) introduced the Bereaved Parents Rights Act, legislation that ensures hospitals and freestanding birth centers provide clear information about the rights that grieving parents have regarding the cremation or burial of their miscarried or stillborn child.”
The May 13, 2026 press release headline and summary repeat that Cammack introduced the Bereaved Parents Rights Act to ensure grieving parents are informed of rights regarding cremation or burial of a miscarried or stillborn child.
GovInfo lists S. 4507 (IS), the Bereaved Parents Rights Act, as introduced in the Senate on May 13, 2026, with the purpose “to require hospitals and freestanding birth centers to notify each mother of a miscarried fetus of her rights with respect to such fetus, and for other purposes.”
The Senate sponsor says the Bereaved Parents Rights Act “ensures hospitals and freestanding birth centers provide clear information about the rights that grieving parents have regarding the cremation or burial of their miscarried or stillborn child,” and states that Congresswoman Kat Cammack introduced the House companion.
Assessments
The evidence shows Cammack introduced House legislation in May 2026 to require hospitals and birth centers to provide clear information about parents' rights regarding cremation or burial after miscarriage or stillbirth. That is a clear and serious legislative effort directly aligned with the promise. However, the record provided shows introduction of bicameral legislation, not enactment or implementation of the policy. In federal office promise scoring, introducing a bill alone does not mean the promised outcome was fully delivered. Because she materially advanced the proposal but there is no evidence it became law or otherwise took effect, this is best scored as partial rather than delivered.
