Relates to prohibiting charges for the issuance of a certificate of still birth or fetal death
This bill prohibits state and local registrars from charging any fees to issue certificates of still birth or fetal death. Under the new rules, these documents will be provided free of charge, removing the previous requirement to pay a fee similar to those for standard birth or death certifications. The change applies to all individuals requesting these vital records and takes effect immediately upon passage.
