Bill Summary

Relative to access to birth records of certain persons born out of wedlock. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 2A of Chapter 46 of the General Laws to apply the provisions limiting access to records and returns of children and persons born out of wedlock only in cases where the infant was given up for adoption or where the name of the father is not listed on the record or return. This change provides greater access to birth records for individuals born out of wedlock, except in specific circumstances where the record may be sealed due to adoption or lack of paternity information.
