VITAL STATISTICS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the completion, correction, and amendment of certificates.
This Idaho bill revises rules for updating birth, death, and other vital records after they are filed. It clarifies that adding missing facts (completion) or correcting errors with proof (correction) does not require marking a certificate "amended," unlike changes to legal facts (amendments). Specific procedures are set for paternity adjustments and name changes without the "amended" label, and it establishes a court petition process for denied requests. The changes apply to all vital records handled by Idaho's state registrar.
