The bill amends Chapter 23-3 of the General Laws, titled "Vital Records," by introducing a new section, 23-3-25.2, which provides an exemption for certain incarcerated persons from the payment of fees for their first request for vital statistics from the department of health. Specifically, it states that any incarcerated person who is set to be released from prison to re-enter the community shall be processed without a charge or fee when making a first request for their own personal records. This act will take effect upon passage.
