[or-roots] Proposed OR House Bill 2093 closes all Vital records for 125 years

[W David Samuelsen]

I was alerted to this yesterday.

How many of you are AWARE of Legslative attempt to restrict access to 
births, marriages and deaths further? And using pretext to declare 
emergency to start enforcing it effective January 1, 2014

State agency is trying to sneak it through.

Currently
Births, 100 years
Marriages, 75 years
Deaths, 50 years

They want to change them to
Births, 125 years
Marriages, 100 years
Deaths, 75 years
PLUS black out all mention of health information, even on death 
certificates.
