It defines a homeless individual as someone lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, excluding those in correctional facilities. The state registrar, local registrar, or county clerk must issue a birth record without charge upon request. The executive commissioner must adopt a verification process and necessary documentation for issuance. The law prohibits requiring a homeless individual to provide a physical address.
