Summary

The bill lets a person—or their parent, guardian, or legal representative—request that a birth certificate be changed to a new name after a court order is issued. The town’s vital statistics office must then amend the certificate using the department’s prescribed method. This creates a clear process for updating official records after a legal name change.
