Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to certification of fetal death certificates by a midwife or physician assistant
AI Summary
This bill amends the public health law to permit midwives and physician assistants, in addition to physicians and nurse practitioners, to certify the cause of death on a fetal death certificate if they were in attendance at or after the fetal death. The bill also removes language that previously prohibited nurse-midwives from certifying the cause of death on fetal death certificates. This change aims to expand the pool of healthcare professionals authorized to certify fetal deaths, potentially improving the timely registration of these events.
