AI Summary
This bill, titled "Relative to restricted vital records," proposes to amend Chapter 46, Section 2A of the General Laws by removing specific accessibility restrictions on public records related to vital statistics. Specifically, it seeks to delete the phrases "children born out of wedlock or" and "or those of persons born out of wedlock," which currently impose limitations on the public's access to certain birth records. The intent is to make these records more accessible by removing these historical distinctions. This act is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
