An Act removing social security numbers from death certificates
This bill removes social security numbers from death certificates issued in Massachusetts. It amends Chapter 46 of the General Laws to delete the requirement for including a deceased person's SSN on these official documents. The change directly affects individuals obtaining death certificates for legal, administrative, or funeral purposes. The key mechanism is a simple textual edit to the law governing certificate content, eliminating SSN as a required field.
