Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


The purpose of this bill is to provide the authority to the Commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles to issue certain vital records subject to the rules and regulations of the State Registrar, to allow the DMV to collect fees for issuing vital records that will be provided to the State Registrar, and for the Commissioners of the DMV and DHHR to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to implement a program that allows the DHHR to provide access to certain vital records to the DMV. The Department does not anticipate a fiscal impact related to this legislature as the bill requires the WV Department of Motor Vehicles to transmit the cost of vital records to the State Registrar. The State Registrar has implemented a database application for vital events that provides access via web.
