SCS/HB 1640 - Under current law, after an adoption, the court orders an adoption decree, which shall include such facts as are necessary to locate and identify the birth certificate of the adopted person, and shall provide information necessary to establish a new birth certificate of the adopted person. This act prohibits the issuance of a new birth certificate following an adoption by a step-parent if the adoptive parent or adoptive stepparent requests that there not be a new birth certificate.ADRIANE CROUSE
