Bill > HB1139

This bill amends sections of the North Dakota Century Code relating to the required elements of birth records. Key provisions include: 1. Defining a "birth record" as a record reporting a live birth and specifying that a birth record must include the designation of the sex of the child as either male or female, with an exception for cases where the sex cannot be determined based on the child's nonambiguous sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous hormone profiles at birth. 2. Clarifying the requirements for filing a birth record, including the use of the electronic birth registration system and the order of priority for who must prepare and file the required forms. 3. Providing for the delayed registration of a birth record, including the process for substantiating the alleged facts of birth and the requirements for marking the record as "delayed" if it is registered one year or more after the date of occurrence. Overall, the bill aims to standardize the information required in birth records and the procedures for filing and registering them in North Dakota.
