Directs the State Registrar of Vital Statistics to issue a birth certificate with the name of the father of Levi Ryan Murray.
The bill addresses a conflict in Delaware law regarding the entry of a deceased father's name on a child's birth certificate when the child is conceived through assisted reproduction. Specifically, it mandates the State Registrar of Vital Statistics to amend Levi Ryan Murray's birth certificate to list Ryan Murray as the father. The bill also prohibits marking the amended birth certificate as "delayed" or "amended." This action resolves a conflict between state statutes that arose due to Ryan Murray's death before the birth of his son, Levi, who was conceived through in vitro fertilization.
