Version:

Existing law requires the State Registrar to establish a new birth certificate upon receipt of a report of adoption or a readoption order, as specified.

This bill would require the State Registrar to establish a new birth certificate pursuant to the provisions above within 11 weeks upon receipt of a report of adoption or a readoption order. If the State Registrar determines that the report of adoption or readoption order is incomplete, the bill would require the State Registrar to notify the court that issued the report of adoption or readoption order within 14 weeks requesting the required documentation, and would require the State Registrar to establish a new birth certificate within 11 weeks of receipt of the required documentation.
