Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Vital Records Act. Allows the State Registrar of Vital      
   Records  to  implement  an  electronic  reporting  system  for   death      
   registrations.   Provides  that, in addition to any other fees charged      
   by the local registrar or county clerk, the local registrar or  county      
   clerk  must  charge  a  $2  fee  for  each  certified  copy of a death      
   certificate.  Provides that the $2 fee  must  be  transmitted  to  the      
   State  Registrar  and  deposited  into the Death Certificate Surcharge      
   Fund.  Provides that moneys in the Death  Certificate  Surcharge  Fund      
   may  be  used  to  train  deputy  coroners, forensic pathologists, and      
   police officers for homicide investigations and  for  implementing  an      
   electronic   reporting  system  for  death  registrations.   Effective      
   immediately.                                                                
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
        Further amends the Vital Records Act. Deletes  a  provision  that      
   local  registrars may not charge a fee for other services that exceeds      
   the fee charged by the State Registrar for  those  services.  Provides      
   that  beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act and until      
   January 1, 2003, moneys in the Death Certificate Surcharge Fund may be      
   used by the Department of Public Health  to  implement  an  electronic      
   reporting system for death registrations.  Provides that after January      
   1, 2003, 25% of the moneys in the Death Certificate Surcharge Fund may      
   be  used  for  a  grant  by  the  Department of Public Health to local      
   registrars (now, the grant is to the Cook County Health Department).        
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Further amends the Vital Records Act.  Provides that fees imposed      
   under the Act for searches of birth, death, and  fetal  death  records      
   may not be assessed against an organization chartered by Congress that      
   requests a certificate for the purpose of death verification.
