Bill Summary

Relative to protecting identities on death certificates. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill proposes a small modification to Chapter 46 of the Massachusetts General Laws, specifically regarding death certificates. The bill would amend the existing law by inserting the phrase "the last four numbers of the" after the word "women" in line 15 of the section. While the specific context is not fully clear from the provided XML, this appears to be aimed at protecting personal identifying information on death certificates by potentially limiting the display of Social Security numbers or other sensitive numerical identifiers to only the last four digits. By revealing only the last four numbers, the bill seeks to enhance privacy protections for deceased individuals while still allowing for potential identification verification purposes.
