Bill > HB5148

This bill amends sections 2829 and 2882 of the Michigan Public Health Code to address the requirements for obtaining a certificate of live birth for an adult adoptee. The key provisions include: 1) Allowing adult adoptees to obtain unredacted copies of their original birth certificates upon request and payment of the required fee, without the need for a central adoption registry clearance form. 2) Allowing descendants or legal representatives of adult adoptees to obtain unredacted copies of the adoptee's original birth certificate upon request and payment of the required fee. 3) Requiring the state registrar to provide any contact preference forms and a notice about requesting identifying information when providing an unredacted birth certificate. 4) Authorizing the state registrar to prescribe and furnish a contact preference form for parents named on the original birth certificate to indicate their wishes regarding contact with the adoptee. The bill also includes provisions about the effective date and a tie-bar with another related bill.
