The number of counties or child welfare boards that would request a certified birth record under the circumstances described by the bill is unknown; therefore, the revenue impact of the bill cannot be determined.

According to the Department of State Health Services, it is assumed that any costs associated with the bill could be absorbed using existing resources.
