SCS/SB 1132 - This act authorize the Recorder of Deeds in the City of St. Louis to be named the local registrar for birth and death records. Currently, Section 193.065, RSMo, allows the State Registrar to appoint local registrars if they are employed by county health agencies. This act allows an exception for the City of St. Louis by allowing the State Registrar to appoint the Recorder of Deeds for the City of St. Louis as the local registrar for that city. This act allows the local registrar to appoint deputies to carry out the registrar's duties.
