New York S00230 amends the public health law to clarify the process for the disposition of fetal remains resulting from a fetal death. The bill requires a permit for the removal of fetal remains, which must be issued by the local registrar upon request by the funeral director or the gestational parent. The gestational parent is informed about the right to access the report of fetal death and to direct the burial, entombment, or cremation of the fetal remains. The bill also ensures that the remains are released to the gestational parent upon request and upon issuance of a permit.
