Sec. 4.4. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, a nonrelease form that:
(1) indicates the birth parent's lack of consent to the release of identifying information; and
(2) was submitted by a birth parent before July 1, 2018;
remains in effect for the time indicated by the birth parent on the nonrelease form.
(b) Unless a birth parent has indicated on the nonrelease form that the birth parent does not desire the state registrar to send notice to the birth parent at the time that the birth parent's nonrelease form lapses, the state registrar shall mail a notice to a birth parent who submitted a nonrelease form as described in subsection (a) at least ninety (90) days before the birth parent's nonrelease form lapses indicating that:
(1) the nonrelease form will lapse; and
(2) if the birth parent prefers not to be contacted by a person requesting identifying information, the birth parent must file a contact preference form indicating that the birth parent does not want to be contacted.
(c) A nonrelease form is no longer in effect if the birth parent consents in writing to the release of identifying information and has not withdrawn that consent.
(d) A nonrelease form is no longer in effect if the birth parent who filed the nonrelease form is deceased unless the nonrelease form specifically states that the nonrelease form remains in effect after the birth parent's death.
