Relating to: access to an original impounded birth record. (FE)

SB 388 simplifies access to original birth records for adoptees and birth parents affected by pre-1982 adoptions. It allows anyone 18+ adopted before February 1, 1982, or whose birth parents consented to adoption before that date to request their unaltered birth record and birth parent information from the state registrar. The bill creates a clear process where adoptees can receive an uncertified copy of their impounded birth record upon request, with the state registrar providing birth parent details unless the parent has revoked consent or is deceased. This applies only to records filed before 1982, with no fees for the uncertified copy (as clarified in Section 9).
