          undertakers; and to repeal provisions of such law relating thereto
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 4148 of the public health law,  as
     2  added by chapter 352 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
     3    1.  The department is hereby authorized and directed to design, imple-
     4  ment and maintain an electronic death registration system  for  collect-
     5  ing,  storing, recording, transmitting, amending, correcting and authen-
     6  ticating information, as necessary and appropriate to complete  a  death
     7  registration,  and  to  generate  such  documents  as  determined by the
     8  department in relation to a death occurring in this state.  As  part  of
     9  the design and implementation of the system established by this section,
    10  the  department  shall  consult  with all persons authorized to use such
    11  system to the extent practicable and feasible. [The  payment  referenced
    12  in  subdivision  five of this section shall be collected for each burial
    13  or removal permit issued on or after the effective date of this  section
    14  from  the licensed funeral director or undertaker to whom such permit is
    15  issued, in the manner specified by the  department  and  shall  be  used
    16  solely  for  the purpose set forth in subdivision five of this section.]
    17  Except as specifically provided in this section,  the  existing  general
    18  duties  of,  and remuneration received by, local registrars in accepting
    19  and filing certificates of death and issuing burial and removal  permits
    20  pursuant  to  any  statute  or  regulation  shall be maintained, and not
    21  altered or abridged in any way by this section.
    22    § 2. Subdivision 5 of  section  4148  of  the  public  health  law  is
    23  REPEALED.
    24    § 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
