AI Summary
This bill amends sections of the Probate Code of 1939 to replace the term "children's ombudsman" with "child advocate" in provisions related to investigating closed adoption records. The bill allows the child advocate to inspect closed adoption records and contact individuals confidentially as part of authorized investigations, without disclosing protected information. The bill also outlines various requirements and procedures for providing adoption records and identifying information to adult adoptees, former parents, and adult former siblings. Additionally, the bill requires the sealing of original birth certificates and the issuance of new birth certificates when an adoptee is provided the name of a former parent. This bill will only take effect if Senate Bill No. 432 or House Bill No. 4638 is also enacted into law.
