An Act relating to the issuance of certified copies of birth certificates to unhoused young adults; and relating to the issuance of identification cards to unhoused young adults.

Summary

The bill changes the state’s copy‑of‑vital‑records statute so that people who qualify for a fee waiver can use an expired or current government photo ID plus two other documents (such as school or medical records) to prove identity when requesting a certified birth certificate. This is aimed at helping unhoused young adults who may lack standard identification. The measure is currently referred to the Health & Social Services Committee.
