Relating to: authorization for tribal governments to copy certified copies of vital records for administrative use.

AB 99 authorizes federally recognized American Indian tribes in Wisconsin to obtain certified copies of vital records (like birth or death certificates) for their own internal administrative purposes. The law amends Wisconsin statutes to exempt tribal governments from certain restrictions when copying these records, provided the copies are clearly marked "FOR ADMINISTRATIVE USE." This change removes a barrier for tribal governments seeking to access vital records for essential government functions, such as program administration or record-keeping, and became effective March 28, 2025, as 2025 Wisconsin Act 4.
