Includes information on if a person previously lived in a nursing home on his or her death certificate

This bill requires death certificates to include a new section specifying whether the deceased previously resided in a nursing home. It mandates that the certificate list the nursing home's name, location, and approximate dates of residence if known to the person completing the form. The change directly affects medical examiners, funeral directors, and others who complete death certificates in New York. This policy update standardizes the collection of nursing home residency data for all death records.
