Loading...
Summary
The State Affairs committee introduced RS 32,617, a trailer to House Bill H47, to require redaction of a registered birth parent's name and personally identifying information when the parent does not opt into information release.
The State Affairs Committee introduced RS 32,617 on a motion Wednesday to require that a registered birth parent's name and other personally identifying information be redacted from records released when that parent chooses not to opt into release.
Representative Joe Alfieri introduced the proposal, saying it is a “trailer bill to H47,” and described the specific change: “the changes are requested the registered birth parents name and any other personally identifying information be redacted before records are released.” He told the committee the amendment applies to the birth parent who decides not to participate in the information-release program.
Alfieri said the change was agreed to by the bill's sponsors and pointed the committee to the relevant language on page 3, lines 19–20. The committee moved to introduce RS 32,617 on a motion by Representative Scott; the committee chair put the question and the motion carried.
No public testimony or additional questions were recorded during the presentation. The committee did not record a roll-call vote in the transcript; the chair declared the motion carried.
