    § 4136. Birth certificate; statement as to blood test. 1. In reporting
  every  birth  and fetal death, physicians and others permitted to attend
  pregnancy cases and required to report births  and  fetal  deaths  shall
  state  on  the birth certificate or fetal death certificate, as the case
  may be, whether a blood test for syphilis  has  been  made  during  such
  pregnancy  upon  a  specimen  of blood taken from the woman who bore the
  child for which a birth or fetal death certificate is filed.
    2. In addition to the information provided to  be  contained  in  each
  certificate  of  birth  by this article every certificate of birth shall
  state whether such test was made during pregnancy or at delivery, and in
  the case where no blood test has been made such fact shall  be  reported
  together  with the reason why such test has not been taken in compliance
  with the provisions of section two thousand three hundred eight of  this
  chapter.
    3.  If  such  test  has  been made during pregnancy, those required to
  report births and fetal deaths shall state the date on  which  the  test
  was made.
    4.  In  no  event  shall the birth certificate state the result of the
  blood test.
