AI Summary

This bill aims to remove certain accessibility restrictions on public records. Specifically, it proposes deleting the phrases "children born out of wedlock" and "or those of persons born out of wedlock" from the existing law. This change would make vital records, such as birth certificates, more accessible to the public, regardless of the marital status of the individuals' parents. The bill is designed to improve transparency and accessibility of public information.
