One aspect of ID for birth certificates we discussed was how an earlier version of the bill was too US-centric. Just because a person was born in state X doesn't mean the person will still be living in state X, or in the US, when they're older and need to order a birth certificate. An earlier version of the law would have allowed a passport as ID, provided it had an address in it. Evidently the lawmakers back then didn't actually look at any passports before they wrote that, or they would have known that most passports don't have addresses.

This is particularly an issue for a tourist state with many foreign visitors, and a state with a university hospital within a short drive of the Canadian border. If you had a complicated pregnancy and you lived in a farming community just north of the border, where would you go?
