Relates to the handling of certain unclaimed human remains

Summary

The bill adds a new section to New York’s public health law that bars the final disposition of any unclaimed human remains until they are entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System or a successor database. It applies to all agencies or entities that handle unclaimed remains in the state. The goal is to improve identification of missing persons before remains are permanently dealt with.
