Relates to the disposition of fetal remains

This bill amends New York's public health law to clarify procedures for handling fetal remains following a spontaneous fetal death at any gestational age. It requires hospitals to inform gestational parents both orally and in writing about their right to direct burial, entombment, or cremation of the remains. The law establishes a permit system for removing or disposing of remains (excluding certain cases like under-20-week tissue), mandates that gestational parents cover associated costs, and specifies that fetal death certificates should follow similar handling as birth/death records without requiring separate certificates. The bill focuses on administrative clarity and parental rights in the disposition process.
