Bill > HB289

This bill amends Alabama law concerning vital statistics, specifically the information required on death certificates. It clarifies that the State Registrar, through established rules, will decide what information goes on birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates, as well as reports of fetal deaths and induced abortions. Crucially, the bill adds a new provision that prohibits the inclusion of the "date of disposition" on death certificates, meaning the date of burial, cremation, or other final arrangements will no longer be a required item on these official documents. This change is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
