Death certificates; amendment of certificate or record; corrections of a death certificate after one year; emergency.

Summary

The bill lets funeral directors fix minor errors on death records within a year without labeling the record as amended, and requires a formal petition for changes after that period. It also updates birth‑certificate procedures, permitting name and paternity changes and restricting the biological‑sex field to male or female. The changes aim to improve the accuracy of vital‑statistics records while protecting their integrity.
