House Bill 2940 amends the Health and Safety Code to require the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) to ensure that the prescribed form for death certificates and fetal death certificates instructs the person required to file the certificate to enter the date in the standard order of "month, day, year" and spell out the name of the month when entering the date. The bill requires DSHS to revise and make available the revised forms not later than January 1, 2012.
