LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law requires each live birth to be registered with the local registrar of births and deaths for the district in which the birth occurred within 10 days following the date of the event.

This bill would instead require each live birth to be registered with the local registrar within 21 days following the date of the event.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 102400 of the Health and Safety Code is amended to read:

102400.

Each live birth shall be registered with the local registrar of births and deaths for the district in which the birth occurred within 21 days following the date of the event.
