The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5615, aims to amend title 7 of the general statutes to create a formal procedure for municipal registrars of vital statistics to handle requests for the identification of graves or other places of interment. This legislative change is intended to streamline the process for individuals seeking information about burial sites, thereby enhancing accessibility and transparency regarding interment locations.
The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of new legal language that establishes the aforementioned procedure. By doing so, it seeks to clarify the responsibilities of municipal registrars in managing and responding to inquiries related to grave identification, ultimately serving the needs of the community in a more efficient manner.
