§ 5077a. New birth certificate due to parentage form

(a) If a parent of a person born in this State was unable to be listed as a parent on the person's birth certificate due to the lack of gender-neutral nomenclature on the birth information form provided by the Department of Health, the person or the person's parent may petition the Probate Division of the Superior Court of the district where the person was born in order to establish his or her parentage and be issued a new birth certificate.

(b) The Probate Division of the Superior Court, after hearing, shall authorize the supervisor of vital records registration to issue a new birth certificate and transmit it, together with any information identifying the original birth certificate, to the clerk of the town where the person was born.

(c) The clerk shall file and index the new certificate in the most recent book of births, shall also index them with births occurring at the same time, and shall otherwise comply with the provisions of sections 5080 and 5081 of this title. The new certificate shall contain a notation that it was issued by authority of this chapter, and it shall not contain the word "Amended" or other special designation. (Added 2013, No. 183 (Adj. Sess.), § 2.)
