An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in Commonwealth agency fees, further providing for Department of Health.
HB 1374 changes Pennsylvania's fee structure for birth records issued by the Department of Health. It requires the Department to provide one free certified copy of a birth record to anyone born in Pennsylvania upon request, and allows a second copy within the same four-year period at no cost. For any additional certified copies requested during that four-year window, the Department must charge a $20 fee. This policy directly affects Pennsylvania residents seeking birth records for personal, medical, or legal purposes. The bill amends the 1929 Administrative Code to implement this fee structure.
