 AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to requiring general

 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

 4 hospital and nursing home shall have an employee present, from eight
 5 o'clock a.m. to six o'clock p.m. each business day, who has been
 6 appointed as a notary public pursuant to section one hundred thirty of
 7 the executive law. Such employee shall offer notarial services to
 8 patients of such general hospital or nursing home at no charge to such
 9 patients. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent a gener-
 10 al hospital or nursing home from offering free notarial services to
 11 patients outside the hours of eight o'clock a.m. to six o'clock p.m., or
 12 on non-business days.
 13 § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 14 have become a law.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
