An Act relating to death certificates; amending 63 O.S. 2021, Section 1-321, as last amended by Section 10, Chapter 58, O.S.L. 2025 (63 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 1-321), which relates to amendment of certificate or record; allowing for corrections of a death certificate after one year; providing for promulgation of rules; and declaring an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill allows for corrections to death certificates more than one year after their initial issuance by requiring applicants to file a petition with the Administrative Hearing Clerk and present clear and convincing evidence to an Administrative Law Judge that the requested change corrects an error or misstatement of fact provided by the funeral home. The bill also directs the Commissioner of Health to create rules and standards for minor corrections to vital statistics records to ensure their accuracy and integrity, and declares an emergency to allow the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
