BILL NUMBER: S7307 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation to burial and removal permits; and to repeal subdivision 7 of section 4144 of such law relating thereto PURPOSE : This bill would allow a licensed funeral director to remove the body of a deceased person from a county non-adjacent to the county in which the funeral firm is located to any county within New York State, in the same manner as has long been allowed for deaths in adjacent counties. In light of New York's recently launched electronic death registration system, this bill also eliminates the obligation imposed upon registrars of vital statistics, or the Commissioner of the Department of Health, or a person authorized by the Commissioner, to, in certain circumstances, provide verbal permission to a licensed funeral director for the removal of a body of a deceased person in lieu of providing a removal permit. The provisions governing verbal permission set forth in Section 4144 are obsolete. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 amends subdivisions 1 and 2 of section 4144 of the public health law
