When did Hawaii say they released a COLB?
I've heard them say they have a copy but not that they released one.
Why is it that a COLB can be released but the vault copy cannot be, what's the difference?
HIPPA never gave me cover to not present my BC, Is zer0 special or illegal?
The answer to that last might be yes. However that has nothing to do with the HIPAA question. HIPAA will not prevent organizations and agencies from asking for your birth certificate and expecting to get it. It will prevent those same organizations from gettin an answer if they ask the hospital you were born at to confirm your birth.
In one instance you (presumably) voluntarily present the certificate. In the other instance the hospital refuses to give out protected health information without your consent.
