AN ACT CONCERNING DEATH CERTIFICATE FEE WAIVERS FOR VETERANS
SUMMARY: This act waives the $20 fee for one certified copy of a veteran's death certificate when the deceased veteran's spouse, child, or parent requests a copy. By law, anyone age 18 or older must pay $20 for a copy of a death certificate from the municipality where the death occurred or the Department of Public Health's State Office of Vital Records. Under the law, a “veteran” is an individual honorably discharged or released under honorable conditions from active service in the U. S. armed forces.
