Bill Summary

Granting equal access to original birth certificates to all persons born in Massachusetts

AI Summary

This bill, titled "Granting equal access to original birth certificates to all persons born in Massachusetts," proposes to amend Section 2B of Chapter 46 of the General Laws, which governs birth records in Massachusetts. Specifically, the bill aims to remove restrictions that currently limit access to original birth certificates based on the date of birth. Currently, access to original birth certificates is restricted for individuals born between July 17, 1974, and January 1, 2008. By striking out these date limitations, the bill seeks to grant all individuals born in Massachusetts equal access to their original birth certificates, regardless of when they were born.
