Bill Subjects

Records: Blockchain.

Abstract

Existing law requires the State Registrar, local registrar, or county recorder, upon request and payment of the required fee, to supply to an applicant a certified copy of the record of a birth, fetal death, death, marriage, or marriage dissolution registered with the official. Existing law requires the certificate to contain certain information and to be printed on chemically sensitized security paper, as specified. This bill would authorize a certified copy of a birth, death, or marriage record issued pursuant to those provisions to be issued, in addition to the required method described above, by means of blockchain technology, as defined. Existing law requires the Secretary of the Government Operations Agency to appoint a blockchain working group and requires that group to submit a report containing specified information related to blockchain technology to the Legislature on or before July 1, 2020. This bill would revise and recast the definition of blockchain for purposes of those provisions.
