 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to foreign adoptions

 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 4138-b of the public health law,
 2 as amended by a chapter of the laws of 2025 amending the public health
 3 law relating to foreign adoptions, as proposed in legislative bills
 4 numbers S. 3765 and A. 1944, is amended to read as follows:
 5 1. Whenever the finalization of a foreign adoption or recognition of a
 6 foreign adoption of a person of any age pursuant to section one hundred
 7 eleven-c of the domestic relations law, or the adoption of a foreign-
 8 born person [over the age of eighteen] of any age at the time of
 9 adoption has been reported to the commissioner, the commissioner shall
 10 file a birth certificate for the adopted person provided there is no
 11 other birth certificate or other birth record on file other than in the
 12 country where such person was born and provided, further, that a certif-
 13 icate of birth data does not exist for that person. Such birth certif-
 14 icate shall be filed upon receipt of: proof that the adoptive parent was
 15 a resident of this state at the time of adoption or that the adoptee was
 16 lawfully adopted within the State of New York; if the adoptee was
 17 adopted in a foreign country or jurisdiction, a copy of the adoption
 18 documents of the jurisdiction or country in which the person was
 19 adopted; a certified translation of the foreign adoption documents,
 20 evidence of the date and place of the adopted person's birth; and
 21 evidence of IR-3, IR-4 or IH-3 immigrant visa status or a successor
 22 immigrant visa status. The birth certificate shall include the adopted
 23 person's name, sex, date of birth, time of birth, place of birth, moth-
 24 er's maiden name, and father's name. A birth certificate issued pursuant
 25 to this section which has been filed by a local registrar and all
 26 supporting documentation shall be submitted by the local registrar to
 27 the commissioner who shall file a new birth certificate pursuant to this
 28 section.
