Earlier this year in June, the Supreme Court ruled that Arkansas had to issue birth certificates equally to opposite-sex and same-sex parents, which went against their previous policy which demanded that the biological father in all situations being put on the birth certificate. However after 5 months this change had still not occurred, Tim Fox, who originally heard the case that went all the way to the Supreme Court that created that policy, shut down all birth certificates being given to anyone. Less than two hours later the governor, with the state legislature mandated that all counties must follow the rule set forth by the Supreme Court.
