Bill Summary
To increase family access to certified copies of birth and fetal death records or certificates.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Connecticut's existing vital records law to allow siblings to access certified copies of birth and fetal death records for individuals less than 100 years old. Currently, access to such records is likely restricted, and this legislation would expand the circle of individuals who can obtain these sensitive documents. By enabling siblings to request certified copies of birth and fetal death records, the bill aims to facilitate family members' ability to obtain important personal and historical documentation about their relatives. The proposed change would require the Department of Public Health and local vital records registrars to issue these certified copies to siblings, potentially helping individuals with genealogical research, medical history inquiries, or personal understanding of family background. The bill represents a modest but meaningful expansion of access to vital records, recognizing the potential importance of such documents to family members.
