Relates to decreasing the electronic death registration system fee for funeral directors and undertakers
This bill reduces the fee that funeral directors and undertakers must pay to use the electronic death registration system from twenty dollars to five dollars per permit. The change is implemented by amending the public health law to lower the required payment while maintaining the rule that these fees cannot be passed on to families as extra charges. The legislation takes effect immediately upon passage, directly affecting licensed funeral service providers who currently pay the higher registration fee.
