2006 New York Code - Births To Inmates Of Public Homes.

 
    §  401.  Births to inmates of public homes.  No commissioner of public
  welfare shall provide care in a  public  home  for  any  pregnant  woman
  during  confinement  unless  such  public  home has adequate hospital or
  infirmary facilities, is equipped to  give  the  necessary  medical  and
  nursing  care and has a certificate from the department authorizing such
  public home to care for maternity cases.    Certificates  authorizing  a
  public  home to care for maternity cases may be issued by the department
  for a one-year period, subject to renewal, but may  be  revoked  at  any
  time  by  the  department.    If  the public home is not so certified, a
  commissioner of public welfare  shall,  a  reasonable  time  before  the
  expected  confinement  of  any  pregnant  woman inmate, provide suitable
  maintenance and medical care for her in a hospital or some  other  place
  equipped to give adequate care.
