S 9149 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to prohibiting charges for the issuance of a certificate of still birth or fetal death

This bill prohibits government registrars from charging any fees for issuing certificates of still birth or fetal death. It directly affects local registrars who currently administer these records and families seeking these documents. The law removes the ability to set fees equal to those charged for standard birth or death certificates, ensuring these specific documents are provided free of charge. This change takes effect immediately upon passage.
