Amends the Vital Records Act. Provides that a birth resulting in stillbirth that occurs in this State, during or after a gestation period of at least 20 completed weeks, shall be registered with the local registrar or subregistrar of the district in which the birth occurred within 7 days after the birth. Sets forth reporting requirements for when a birth resulting in stillbirth occurs in an institution. Specifies that, when a birth resulting in stillbirth occurs outside of an institution, the certificate shall be prepared by the following persons in the indicated order: (i) the physician in attendance at or immediately after the birth, or in the absence of any such person; (ii) any other person in attendance at or immediately after the birth, or in the absence of any such person; (iii) the father, the mother, or in the absence of the father and the inability of the mother, the person in charge of the premises where the birth occurred. Makes conforming changes. Provides that the woman who delivered the stillborn child shall be informed by the preparer of the certificate of the right to decline the certificate. Repeals a provision authorizing a certificate to be marked "delayed" when a stillbirth has not been registered within one year after the delivery.
