BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Section 2164 of the public health law, as amended by chap-
ter 401 of the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:

because  the  parents  or  legally  appointed guardian of the minor have
died, are imprisoned, are mentally ill, or have  been  committed  to  an
institution,  or  because  they have abandoned or deserted such child or
are living outside the state or their whereabouts are unknown,  or  have
designated the person pursuant to title fifteen-A of article five of the
general obligations law as a person in parental relation to the child.
  d.  The term "health practitioner" shall mean any person authorized by
