REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 25(b), (c), (f), the first sentence of (a),
and the second clause of the first sentence and
the entire second sentence of (g).

In subsection (a) of this section, the words
"fetal death" are added since it is a separate
certificate. This addition is based on the
reference to fetal death certificates in
subsection (c) of this section.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the
reference to a record of a marriage "performed
after June 1, 1951" is substituted for the phrase
"received pursuant to the provisions of § 18 of
Article 62 of this Code", for clarity. See §
4-206 of this subtitle.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the word
"properly", which formerly modified "authorized
person", is deleted as surplusage.
