Maddy summarySB 2284 would amend North Dakota adoption laws to improve access to birth records for adopted individuals and their biological relatives. It allows adopted adults aged 18+ to request identifying information about their biological parents or siblings, and permits biological parents (once the adopted person turns 21) or biological siblings to request information about the adopted person. Agencies must make reasonable efforts to notify relevant parties and handle requests within 90 days, requiring consent before disclosing identifying information. Nonidentifying information, such as medical history, would also be available to adoptive parents, adopted adults, and birth parents upon written request and payment of a reasonable fee.
