BILL NUMBER:S3540
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the public health law, in relation to the fee charged for the
issuance of birth and death records
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
Authorizes the Oneida common council
to establish the fee charged for the issuance of birth and death
records by the clerk of the city of Oneida.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Amends section 4173 of the public
health law, to provide that the Oneida common council may increase
the fee charged for certified copies of birth and death certificates.
JUSTIFICATION:
Currently, the city of Oneida is authorized to charge
up to $10 for a certified copy of these vital records. Due to
increasing costs in providing services to its residents and balancing
the budget, this bill was introduced at the request of the City of
Oneida Common Council, who passed and adopted resolution 10-341 on
December 30, 2010, to request that the New York State Legislature
enable them to implement a fee increase of five dollars.
