Nope. There is probably a grandfather clause in it. Or his current “Certificate of Live Birth” will be considered “adequate.”
He could always skip Arizona.
If this bill passes, I wonder what bearing it will have on the Hawaii Department of Health’s apparent decision to stop giving out copies of the original birth certificates which was being reported here earlier this week. There were reports coming out as of Monday that Hawaii would no longer give the long form birth certificates but only short forms. Previously, the state had given out the short form unless the a copy of the original was specifically asked for. Interestingly enough, before Obama’s election short forms weren’t acceptable by many government agencies, but after Obama’s birth certificate controversy, the state has moved to extend the the authority of the short forms for legal purposes. Apparently, now it doesn’t sound as though Hawaii will even give out the long form anymore.
If Hawaii simply says our state only gives out short forms to our citizens and effectively says that short forms are now full legal birth certificates in the state of Hawaii, would Arizona accept that or would a Court force Arizona to accept that?
