AZ HB2562

Establishes an Interstate Birth Certificate Compact to distinguish between persons born subject to U.S. jurisdiction and those not subject to U.S. jurisdiction on birth certificates and related documents in participating states.

Defines "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" as having at least one parent owing no allegiance to any foreign sovereignty, or being without citizenship or nationality in any foreign country.

Requires party states to make this distinction on birth certificates, certifications of live birth, or other birth records, with persons born subject to U.S. jurisdiction designated as natural born U.S. citizens.

Designates the governor of each party state as the compact administrator responsible for maintaining lists of participating states, formulating procedures, and exchanging necessary information.

Compact becomes effective upon acceptance by at least two states and requires U.S. Congress consent; participating states may withdraw after four years by joint resolution.
