 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 (Prefiled)

 January 8, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. SKOUFIS, COMRIE -- read twice and ordered printed,
 and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Health -- commit-
 tee discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recom-
 mitted to said committee

 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring nursing
 homes to designate dedicated storage spaces for the storage of the
 bodies of deceased persons

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The public health law is amended by adding a new section
 2 2810-a to read as follows:
 3 § 2810-a. Nursing home special provisions. 1. (a) Upon the declaration
 4 by the governor of a disaster emergency pursuant to section twenty-eight
 5 of the executive law that a disaster may result in excess mortality that
 6 could overwhelm the capacity of a facility to meet the demand for its
 7 services, each nursing home shall develop and submit to the department a
 8 plan designating a location for temporary on-site storage of bodies of
 9 deceased persons who die at such nursing home until those bodies can be
 10 safely transferred to appropriate parties for purposes of autopsy or
 11 disposition. For the purposes of this section, "excess mortality" means
 12 a sudden and sharp increase in the number of deaths beyond what is
 13 expected based on recent mortality trends.
 14 (b) Such plan shall include but not be limited to:
 15 (i) the designation of a dedicated storage space. If a nursing home
 16 does not currently have an appropriate space meeting the requirements of
 17 paragraph (c) of this subdivision, the plan shall indicate how the nurs-
 18 ing home will satisfy these requirements including through new
 19 construction or modification of existing spaces or utilization of mobile
 20 storage spaces pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subdivision;

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
 LBD00055-03-5

 S. 15--A 2

 1 (ii) identification of the maximum number of bodies of deceased
 2 persons that can be safely stored within the dedicated storage space;
 3 and
 4 (iii) a description of the means by which the nursing home will ensure
 5 that bodies of deceased persons are handled, stored, and transferred in
 6 a safe and sanitary manner, including proper identification and minimiz-
 7 ing the period of time for which each body is kept in the dedicated
 8 storage space before transfer to other appropriate parties.
 9 (c) A dedicated storage space designated for purposes of this sub
