Section 254. Reports by clerks to state officers

When a court of competent
  jurisdiction shall make a determination  as  to  the  parentage  of  any
  person,  the  clerk  of  the court shall forthwith transmit to the state
  commissioner  of  health  on  a  form  prescribed  by  him   a   written
  notification  of such entry together with such other facts as may assist
  in identifying the birth record of the person  whose  parentage  was  in
  issue.  When the person whose parentage has been determined is under the
  age of eighteen years, such clerk shall also transmit forthwith  to  the
  state  commissioner  of  the  office of children and family services for
  recordation in the putative  father  registry  established  pursuant  to
  section  three  hundred  seventy-two-c  of the social services law, on a
  form prescribed by such commissioner in consultation with the office  of
  court  administration, a notification of the determination including the
  name and address of the person whose parentage was  determined  and  the
  person who was determined to be the father.
    Whenever  an  order  of adoption has been made by a court of competent
  jurisdiction the clerk of such court shall  forthwith  transmit  to  the
  state  commissioner  of  health  on  a  form prescribed by him a written
  notification of such order, together with the name given to the  adopted
  person  at  its  birth and such other facts as may assist in identifying
  the birth record of the person adopted and  with  a  copy  of  the  form
  required  by  subdivision  seven-a  of  section  one  hundred twelve and
  subdivision nine of  section  one  hundred  fifteen-b  of  the  domestic
  relations  law  and  paragraph  (e) of subdivision five of section three
  hundred eighty-three-c and paragraph (a) of subdivision two  of  section
  three hundred eighty-four of the social services law.
    If  any determination as to parentage or order of adoption of a person
  as aforesaid shall be reversed, set  aside,  or  abrogated  by  a  later
  judgment,  decree  or  order of the same or of a higher court, that fact
  shall be immediately communicated in writing to the  state  commissioner
  of  health,  and,  in  addition,  in  the  case of a determination as to
  parentage, to the state commissioner  of  the  office  of  children  and
  family  services,  on a form prescribed by him by the clerk of the court
  which entered such judgment, decree, or order.
    Whenever it appears to any clerk, aforesaid,  that  the  person  whose
  parentage  was in issue or the person adopted was born in New York city,
  the clerk shall transmit  the  written  notification  aforesaid  to  the
  department  of  health  of  such  city, together with a copy of the form
  required by subdivision  seven-a  of  section  one  hundred  twelve  and
  subdivision  nine  of  section  one  hundred  fifteen-b  of the domestic
  relations law and paragraph (e) of subdivision  five  of  section  three
  hundred  eighty-three-c  and paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section
  three hundred eighty-four of the social services law, and also  transmit
  copies of such documents to the state commissioner of health.
