Bill Summary
Relative to access to birth records of certain persons born out of wedlock. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill aims to amend the existing law to provide greater access to certain birth records of individuals born out of wedlock. The key change is that the provisions limiting access to records of children and persons born out of wedlock will now only apply in cases where the infant was given up for adoption or where the name of the father is not listed on the record. This change allows for more transparency and access to birth records in other situations where a child was born out of wedlock.
