HB 4839 - Celina Villanueva (D-Chicago): deletes the requirement of a fetal death certificate for disposing of aborted or miscarried fetal remains of less than 20 weeks gestation. Directs the Department of Public Health to create a form to obtain a permit for disposal of remains; requires the local registrar to seal the form; and prohibits the funeral director from keeping a copy.

 This disgraceful bill treats human remains as nothing more than garbage.

It has passed the House.

Urge your state senator to OPPOSE HB 4839.
