Summary/Major Elements: This bill adds the director of the Department of H ealth, or the director's designee, as a member of the Wyoming Children's Trust Fund B oard. Existing law imposes a five dollar ($5.00) surcharge for copies of vital records for deposit into the Wyoming children's tru st fund if the amount in the fund is less than five million dollars ($5,000,000.00).
