Bill Summary
Office of Vital Records; fees for certified copies. Permits the Board of Health to prescribe a fee of up to $17 for a certified copy of vital records and directs the Department of Motor Vehicles to collect a fee of $17 for each certified copy of a vital record that it issues. Under current law, both fees are limited to $12.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to increase the maximum fee for a certified copy of a vital record, such as a birth or death certificate, from $12 to $17. This change applies to both the Office of Vital Records, allowing the Board of Health to set the fee up to this new limit, and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), which will collect the $17 fee for any certified vital records it issues. The bill also specifies how a portion of these fees will be allocated, with a larger amount, $15 instead of $10, being credited to a special fund for carrying out the provisions of the chapter related to vital records.
