SCS/SB 830 - This act authorizes an adopted person over the
age of 30 to obtain a copy of his or her original birth
certificate and provides that such access shall be provided
unless a written prohibition exists against the release of
records. If the state registrar does not have the person's
records, the registrar shall certify this within 30 days. The
adopted person may then request such records from any circuit
court, and the court shall provide copies of any such records in
its possession within 60 days.
