HB1463

Today, HB1463 passed in the NC House Judiciary I committee.

HB1463, will Expand Access to adult biological siblings, adult biological half siblings and adult family members of deceased biological parents. This bill will also lower the age back to 18 for all adult adoptees to utilize the program, and allow an agency acting as a confidential intermediary to obtain a copy of a death certificate of the person who is the subject of the search and deliver it to the person requesting the services.

We hope that HB1463 will be read in the House tomorrow, and then sent over to the Senate, before May 14, which is the bill cross-over deadline.

NCCAR would like for adult siblings or other family members who would be interested in utilizing the confidential intermediary program to contact them, as soon as possible. We need you to be able to write to your Senator in the NC Legislature, when the time comes.
