Subdivision 2 of section 2511 of the public health law is 2 amended by adding a new paragraph (i) to read as follows: 3 (i) Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, rule or regu- 4 lation: 5 (i) A newborn child who meets the eligibility criteria set forth in 6 this subdivision or subdivision five of this section, as determined by 7 an approved organization or the health insurance exchange marketplace, 8 whichever is applicable, shall be enrolled retroactively to the first 9 day of the month in which the child is born, provided that the applicant 10 for insurance submits a completed and signed application and required 11 information and documentation within sixty days of the child's birth. 12 (ii) A newborn child shall be presumed eligible for subsidy payments 13 under this subdivision or eligible for coverage under subdivision five 14 of this section, provided that the applicant for insurance submits a 15 completed and signed application within sixty days of the child's birth. 16 Once eligibility is determined by the approved organization or the 17 health insurance exchange marketplace, whichever is applicable, on the 18 basis of preliminary information, the child shall be enrolled retroac- 19 tively to the first day of the month in which the child is born. All 20 other procedures and standards regarding presumptive enrollment applica- 21 ble to eligible children enrolled under this title and specified in 22 state contracts with approved organizations or implemented by the health 23 insurance exchange marketplace, whichever is applicable, shall apply to 24 presumptive enrollment of newborn children. 25 § 2.
