Bill Summary
Relative to the privacy of death certificates. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 1 of Chapter 46 of the General Laws, which pertains to public health and vital records, by adding language to the existing law that will require the last three digits of a deceased person's Social Security number to be included on death certificates. This change is intended to enhance privacy protections for deceased individuals and their families, potentially by making it more difficult for identity thieves to misuse personal information.
