Pennsylvania HB536 amends the definition of "noncertified copy of original birth record" to clarify that it is a summary photocopy of the original record with specific details redacted. The bill also establishes procedures for birth parents to request that their names be redacted from noncertified copies of original birth records issued to adoptees. The Department of Health must prescribe a form for this request, which must be notarized and include necessary information. If accepted, the form is filed in the adoptee's adoption file.
