Provides for the issuance of birth certificates of a deceased parent to their child

This bill amends the Public Health Law to allow children to request certified copies of their deceased parent's birth certificate directly, without needing a court order. Previously, obtaining such records required a court ruling unless the requester was an adult or a legal guardian. The change permits a child to apply for these documents if they can prove a blood relationship or adoption through the state health commissioner's regulations. This update aims to simplify the process for families seeking vital records of parents who have passed away.
