To protect the integrity of vital records and to prevent the fraudulent use of birth certificates of deceased persons, the State Registrar of the Center for Health Statistics is authorized to match birth and death certificates, in accordance with rules adopted by the state registrar that require proof beyond a reasonable doubt the fact of death, and to post the facts of death to the appropriate birth certificate. Copies issued from birth certificates marked “deceased” shall be similarly marked. [1983 c.709 §24; 1997 c.783 §18]
