This bill amends Section 1-321 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which governs the amendment of death certificates. A significant change is the extension of the time limit for requesting corrections to a death certificate from sixty (60) days to one hundred eighty (180) days following its initial issuance. The bill allows funeral directors or their representatives to request corrections for scrivener's errors, misspellings, or other inaccuracies in the death record, provided the request is made in writing or electronically and includes appropriate documentation. Additionally, it stipulates that the funeral director is responsible for any amendment fees and allows for the exchange of up to ten certified copies of the corrected information at no extra cost.

Furthermore, the bill specifies that the biological sex designation on a birth certificate amended under this section must be either male or female, explicitly prohibiting nonbinary designations or symbols, such as the letter "X." This provision aims to standardize the biological sex designation on birth certificates in Oklahoma. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the accuracy and integrity of vital statistics records while providing clearer guidelines for amendments to death certificates.
