BILL NUMBER: S4991 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the public health law, in relation to the registration of live births PURPOSE : The purpose of this bill is to extend the amount of days to file a birth certificate after a live birth to fifteen (15). SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : This bill would amend Section 1 of the public health law to extend the birth certificate filing period from five to fifteen days. EXISTING LAW : §4130 of the public health law requires a live birth to be registered within five days. JUSTIFICATION : After giving birth, the recovery period for mothers can range from a few days to a couple weeks if there are complications. Current law requires that a newborn's birth certificate be authorized five days after giving birth, but in some cases, that may not be enough time.
