Kathleen Collins spoke in favor of HB2474 as a county clerk with personal experience in handling marriage certificates under current law. She indicated the information found on the marriage certificate is entered electronically at the county level, and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has access to that electronic information. This bill would eliminate the step of sending the paper copy to KDHE. (Attachment 2)
