Cal. Health & Safety Code § 102365 — Local Administration is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) Notwithstanding any other law, a local registrar of births and deaths, after two years from the date of registration and with the approval of, and under the supervision of, the State Registrar, shall dispose of the local registrar’s copies of the records, if both of the following exist:
(1) The original copies of the records are on file in the office of the State Registrar.
(2) Copies of the records are on file in the office of the county recorder. If the county recorder does not have copies of the records, the county recorder may accept the State Registrar’s copies as a special county record of the events.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), a local health jurisdiction that exclusively serves cities may issue a record older than two years if the record issued is the most accurate record on file with the State of California.
