Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act of 2025

Expands and clarifies federal efforts to prevent maternal deaths by directing the CDC, in coordination with HRSA, to share yearly best practices with hospitals, state professional groups, and perinatal quality collaboratives. It improves how maternal death information is recorded and used, so data are more complete and consistent across states.

It also updates the terms used by maternal mortality review committees and refreshes the law’s funding language. The goal is to give frontline providers clear guidance, strengthen data quality, and help states and hospitals act on what works to save lives.
