• Changes the required documentation from generic 'Proof of the death' to specifically 'A certified copy of the death certificate'. (Page 3, line 7)
• Removes the phrase 'proof of the death of' from the description of required documents. (Page 3, line 8)
• Removes the phrase 'proof of' when referencing death documents. (Page 3, line 15)
• Changes 'death documents' to specifically require 'certified copy of a death certificate' as the required documentation. (Page 3, lines 16)
• Deletes language stating that the county clerk may rely on various forms of evidence of death (death certificate, record or report constituting prima facie evidence), removing discretionary reliance on alternative death documentation. (Page 3, line 20 through Page 8, line 6)
