Creates provisions relating to perinatal care

This bill requires healthcare professionals who provide maternity services to screen all pregnant women for mental disorders and mental illnesses throughout their pregnancy. If a mental disorder or illness is identified and not being treated, the professional must either provide treatment or refer the patient for treatment. The bill also directs the Department of Health and Senior Services to create guidelines for treating these conditions and establish a perinatal navigator program to connect pregnant women with early prenatal care and other community services.
