Sec. 7-61. Birth and fetal death certificates to state whether blood test has been
made. In reporting each 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 and, if made, the
date when such test was made, and, if not made, the reason why such test was not made.
In no event shall the birth certificate state the result of the test.
