VITAL STATISTICS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding corrections or amendments to material facts on certificates of birth.

This bill amends Idaho's birth certificate rules to require that certificates include specific quantitative facts at birth, such as sex, date, time, weight, length, and place. It restricts changes to these facts: corrections can only be made within one year of birth using a notarized affidavit signed by parents, a guardian, or the attending physician, or later only for fraud, duress, or material mistake proven in court. The bill specifies that "sex" refers to biological sex as defined in Idaho law, and corrected certificates after July 1, 2025, will not show "amended" markings but will be tracked internally. This directly affects individuals seeking to update birth records for medical, legal, or identity purposes. The policy aims to maintain consistent vital statistics for public health, safety, and medical research.
