A 212 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to decreasing the electronic death registration system fee for funeral directors and undertakers

This bill reduces the fee funeral directors and undertakers pay to use the electronic death registration system from $20 to $5 per burial or removal permit. It directly affects licensed funeral professionals who must pay this fee as part of their operational costs. The law explicitly states they cannot charge families any additional fee related to this payment, keeping the cost contained within their business expenses. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
