What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes various changes to chapter 69 and related provisions to

accommodate the use of electronic records. With certain exceptions relating to

marriage documentation, the bill changes terminology to reference “records” rather

than “certificates” or “documents.” The bill also eliminates unnecessary terminology

by grouping references to certain records. Finally, the bill extends the incorporation

of references to a “system of vital records” to accommodate and refer to the issuance

of records through the use of an electronic system.
