Summary

The bill adds a new rule that petitioners in family‑law cases must file a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate, if available, and that the court can request it from any party when needed. It also exempts the state’s Title IV‑D child‑support agency from having to include that certificate or related statements in its petitions. The changes aim to protect privacy while clarifying document requirements.
