Vital records-amendments.
HB 248 clarifies and updates Wyoming's vital records system by defining key terms (like "vital records" to explicitly include related books and "local official" to cover county clerks/coroners) and setting specific requirements. It mandates medical coroners certify deaths within 72 hours of notification, requires marriage certificates registered over one year late to be marked "Delayed," and directs the Department of Health to create implementing rules. The bill directly affects county officials handling birth, death, marriage, and divorce records, ensuring clearer procedures for registration, certification, and preservation. It removes outdated language but does not create new benefits or penalties, focusing solely on procedural clarity for existing record-keeping processes.
