AN ACT CONCERNING THE APPOINTMENT OF SUBREGISTRARS FOR THE ISSUANCE OF REMOVAL, TRANSIT, BURIAL AND CREMATION PERMITS

SUMMARY: This act requires a town's chief elected official, rather than selectmen, to approve the local registrar of vital statistics' appointment of subregistrars authorized to issue removal, transit, and burial permits and cremation permits.

By law, a local registrar must appoint at least two subregistrars, who have authority to issue these permits when the registrar's office is closed.
