to create 69.24 (1) (a) 3. of
2the statutes;
relating to: authorizing the copying of a birth certificate in order
3for a child to participate in an organized youth sport.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the state registrar or a local registrar must collect $12 for issuing a
certified or uncertified copy of a birth certificate. With certain exceptions, a person
who otherwise copies a vital record, including a certified or uncertified birth
certificate, may be subject to a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment of up to three
years and six months, or both.
This bill makes an exception to the penalty for copying a vital record, for a
parent, stepparent, guardian, or foster parent of a child who is required to submit
the child's birth certificate in order for the child to participate in an organized youth
sport.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
