What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the state registrar and any local registrar to issue certified

copies of certain vital records relating to birth, marriage, divorce, domestic

partnership, termination of domestic partnership, or death if a person makes the

request in writing and, to the extent permitted, if the requested vital record is

available for statewide issuance in the state registrar's electronic system for vital

record issuance, and if the person pays the appropriate fee. If the vital record is not

enabled for statewide issuance in the state registrar's electronic system for vital

record issuance, the registrar responsible for filing or registration of the vital record

may issue a certified copy under this section. Under current law, a person requesting

certain vital records must pay the appropriate fee and make the request in writing

to the registrar responsible for filing or registering the vital record.
