Background

The Washington State Department of Health has created a new category of birth certificate specifically for stillborn births.  They are tracking this category separately, and have set the vital record fee the same as all other birth certificates at $25.  In order to comply with State requirements, we need to create an additional fee in our Vital Records fee schedule specifically for stillborn birth certificates.

 
Board Authority
Consistent with Resolution 19-20 and the revised Division of Responsibilities (10/8/19), the Board of Health has authority over fees. 
Recommended Motion
MOVE TO approve a change to the vital records fee schedule to include stillborn birth certificates.
