Providing birth certificate copies to homeless individuals under 18

Changed the provision for free birth certificates from permissive ('must') to mandatory ('shall') to ensure the State Registrar is legally required to provide them.

Added a specific definition of 'homelessness' listing three categories: supervised shelters, institutions for temporary residence, and places not designed for human habitation.

Corrected a citation in subsection (d) to reference the correct code section (§12-2-2) and standardized the capitalization of fund names throughout the text.

Updated the legislative header to list additional sponsors (Senators Woelfel and Grady) and changed the status from 'Introduced' to 'Committee Substitute' with a new report date.

Replaced the requirement for 'satisfactory proof of homelessness' with a 'written affirmation of homelessness,' reducing the administrative burden on minors.

Removed the specific definition of homelessness (paragraphs 1, 2, and 3) from the statute, as the simplified process no longer requires the Registrar to verify specific living conditions.

Deleted the requirement for the State Registrar to maintain a record of certificates furnished under this specific subsection.
