In the 19th, a package of bills aimed at addressing maternal health has undergone changes. The word "Black" has been largely removed from the legislation, which has been a key vehicle for addressing the Black maternal health crisis. The title of the bill, previously known as the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, has been altered to the Momnibus Act.
