Records: birth; fee for birth records; eliminate for certain individuals. Amends sec. 2891 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.2891).

HB 5471 amends Michigan law to eliminate the fee for obtaining birth records for certain individuals. Currently, a $34 fee applies for a birth record search and certified copy, but this bill would waive that fee for specific categories of people. The exemption would apply to individuals not currently covered by existing fee waivers, such as veterans or adoption agencies. This change would allow these individuals to access their birth records without paying the standard charge.
