AN ACT REQUIRING THE SHARING OF ADOPTION RECORDS AMONG STATE AGENCIES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ALLOWING AN ADOPTED PERSON TO OBTAIN A BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR OTHER VITAL RECORD.

HB 6558 requires state agencies to share adoption records securely to help adopted individuals in closed adoptions obtain their birth certificates or other vital records needed for legal identification. The bill establishes a formal process for agencies to exchange these records while protecting privacy in closed adoption cases. It directly affects adopted people who currently face barriers in accessing their original birth records. The key mechanism creates a standardized, privacy-protected pathway for agencies to provide these records without requiring court orders.
