Vital Records - As enacted, makes various changes to the present law relative to birth certificates. - Amends TCA Title 36 and Title 68.

This bill updates Tennessee laws regarding the issuance of new birth certificates for children born through adoption, legitimation, or paternity orders. It requires courts and attorneys to submit specific adoption documents to the state's vital records division to trigger the creation of a new certificate reflecting the adoptive parents' names and residence. The legislation also clarifies that original birth certificates must be removed from public files and replaced with new ones, while prohibiting the issuance of new certificates in cases where the original record already shows a legitimate birth to married parents. Additionally, the bill establishes procedures for reporting foreign adoptions and ensures that new certificates are prepared only when supported by a valid court order.
