Funds collected for certified copies; allow use for public health programs and completion of other recordkeeping and statistics.

SB 2743 amends Mississippi law to redirect funds collected from fees for certified copies of birth, death, and marriage records. After completing marriage record statistics, any remaining funds must be used for maternal/infant/child health programs, completing birth records, or other vital statistics. This change affects the State Board of Health, which manages these funds and vital records. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not create new fees but reallocates existing ones.
