An Act amending the act of June 29, 1953 (P.L.304, No.66), known as the Vital Statistics Law of 1953, in records, further providing for fees for copies.

HB 1153 amends Pennsylvania's Vital Statistics Law to waive fees for certified birth records for individuals aged 65 or older. It specifically eliminates charges when seniors request revised birth records to meet requirements under Pennsylvania's REAL ID Compliance Act (2017). The bill directly affects older Pennsylvanians needing birth certificates for REAL ID-compliant identification. This change simplifies access to a key document for this group without altering REAL ID standards or creating new administrative requirements.
