2018 House Bill 6047

Allow free birth record lookup for indigent ID purposes

Introduced in the House

May 17, 2018

Introduced by Rep. James Lower (R-70)

To allow a person to obtain a free copy of his or her birth certificate, or an official statement that the record could not be located, if the individual signs an affidavit that he or she is requesting the record for the purpose of obtaining a state ID card for voting purposes, and that the cost of the record would be prohibitive. The bill would appropriate $2 million for this.

Referred to the Committee on Elections and Ethics
