Bill > A09093

This bill permits midwives and physician assistants to certify the cause of death on a fetal death certificate if they are in attendance at or after a fetal death. The bill amends the existing public health law to allow midwives and physician assistants, in addition to physicians and nurse practitioners, to certify the cause of death on a fetal death certificate. This change provides more flexibility in who can certify fetal deaths, which can help ensure timely and accurate reporting.
