Amend CSSB 1 in Article II of the bill by adding the following
appropriately numbered rider after the appropriations to the
Department of State Health Services:
____. Record of Birth for Certain Children. The Department
of State Health Services may not use money appropriated under this
Act to register the birth of a child if neither parent of the child
is a United States citizen, a United States national, or an alien
who is lawfully admitted for permanent residence to and maintains
the parent's residence in the United States. A local registrar
shall issue a report of birth, in lieu of a birth certificate, to a
child born in this state if neither parent of the child is a United
States citizen, a United States national, or an alien who is
lawfully admitted for permanent residence to and maintains the
parent's residence in the United States. The record of birth must
include instructions to the parent to take the record of birth to
the consulate of the country of which the parent is a citizen in
order for the child to be issued a birth certificate from that
country.
