Summary

Existing law requires the collection of fees for providing certified copies of vital records, including marriage certificates, birth certificates, fetal death records, and death records. Existing law provides for the establishment of county domestic violence program special funds for the purpose of funding local domestic violence programs. Certain fees payable at the time a certified copy of any of the above-referenced vital records is issued may be collected by the county clerks for deposit into these funds. Additionally, existing law authorizes certain counties, upon making certain findings and declarations, to authorize an increase in fees for certified copies of certain vital records, as specified. Existing law requires the revenue from the fee increase to be allocated for purposes relating to domestic violence prevention, intervention, and prosecution. Existing law authorizes a county board of supervisors to designate a local voluntary commission, whose duties primarily relate to services for children or human services, and requires the county board of supervisors, if the local voluntary commission is designated, to establish a county children's trust fund. Existing law establishes the State Children's Trust Fund, of which money may be allocated, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the State Department of Social Services for the purpose of funding child abuse and neglect prevention and intervention programs. This bill would authorize a county board of supervisors and certain city councils, upon making findings and declarations regarding the need for governmental oversight and coordination of the multiple agencies dealing with domestic violence and child abuse, to authorize an increase in the fees for certified copies of certain vital records up to a maximum of $5 per license or record and to annually adjust that amount for inflation, as specified. This bill would require the fees to be allocated, as specified, by the county or city for purposes relating to the prevention and intervention of domestic violence and child abuse. This bill would require proceeds from the fee increase from birth certificates to be deposited into the county children's trust fund or the State Children's Trust Fund, as specified.
