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

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.

The person who is pushing for it.  Permission is granted to circulate to 
as many as you can, get the people to contact their state

Fantastic letter.  Beautifully said.

        I just fired this off to my state Senator, hope it

          Dear Senator Arnold Roblan;

          My favorite genealogical list has had the 
          following bill brought to our attention;

          House Bill 2093

          http://landru.leg.state.or.us/13reg/measpdf/hb2000.dir/hb2093.intro.pdf

          Our most important concern is the feature 
          that it appears to seek adding 25 years to the period of time which 
          the general public cannot access vital statistics. I understand that 
          many people may see this as strengthening safeguards against identity 
          theft and creation of phony identification. In reality all it will 
          accomplish is making life more difficult for we in the genealogical 
          community and have little or no effect on those intended 
          consequences.

          For a mere $39.95 with my handy 
          dandy MasterCard I recently signed on to a web service that 
          pretty much gives me access to the vital records of anyone I want 
          information on, the more recent the information I want the better. I 
          bought it because a cousin was wanting to contact an ex wife of her 
          brother; boom for an additional $2.95 for the "details" i.e. exact 
          address and current phone number. In many states this service provides 
          actual copies of documents. So if the intent is to protect 
          identification, it is a case of closing the barn door after the horse 
          is gone. 

          A further objection is that it appears to be 
          creating a new level of State government at a time when we can't pay 
          for what we have. If there are changes that genuinely need to be made 
          in records keeping, they should be administratively handled within our 
          current vital statistics organization.

          Yours 
    respectfully:
