I move amendment No. 1:

In page 5, to delete lines 9 to 11 and substitute the following:

“corroborated particulars of death certificates; to amend the Social Welfare Consolidation Act 2005, the Civil Registration (Amendment) Act 2014 and the Civil Registration Act 2019; and to provide for related matters.”.

The first amendment proposes to amend the Long Title of the Civil Registration (Electronic Registration) Bill 2024 to incorporate a proposed change to the Civil Registration Act 2019.

Amendment No. 6 proposes to delete paragraph (a) of section 6 of the Civil Registration Act 2019. This paragraph has not yet been commenced and would have allowed a coroner to request information from a next of kin to assist in fully completing a coroner's certificate related to a death. The Civil Registration (Electronic Registration) Bill, however, proposes to remove the need for the coroner to provide all the required particulars in a death. The next of kin will, as a result, be able to supply any remaining particulars directly to the registrar.
