BILL NUMBER:S325 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to death certificates PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill authorizes nurse practitioners to sign death certificates In like manner as physicians and imposes upon nurse practitioners the same duties that physicians have. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: This bill amends Public Health. Law, sections 4100, 4104, 4141, 4141-a, 4142, 4144, 4161, 4171, and 4175 to include nurse practitioners as persons able to issue death certificates.
