To commemorate Infant Loss Awareness Month, state Sen. Shelley Mayer and Assemblyman David Buchwald announced new legislation on Tuesday to provide a $2,000 refundable tax credit to affected parents. The credit is supposed to help ease the financial burden associated with a stillbirth.
Lawmakers plan on introducing the bill in the next legislative session.
