     3  follows:
     4    1. The commissioner shall require that every hospital and birth center

     6  of  pre-booking directly to each prospective maternity patient and, upon
     7  request, to the general public an informational  leaflet.  Such  leaflet
     8  shall  be  designed  by  the  commissioner and shall contain brief defi-
     9  nitions of maternity related procedures and practices  as  specified  in
    10  subdivision two of this section and such other material as deemed appro-
    11  priate  by  the commissioner. Hospitals and birth centers may also elect
    12  to distribute additional explanatory material along with  the  maternity
    13  patients informational leaflet. The commissioner shall make the informa-

    23  installation of blinds, examples of current standards and the  potential
    24  fatal consequences from strangulation posed by window blinds.
    25    §  3.  This  act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
    26  have become a law.
