I am currently attending the NGS Conference in Milwaukee and we
have received word that California is moving forward quickly in
its move to close access to the index of birth and death records
and will be meeting Monday morning at 9:30 am for a hearing on the
bill. I am copying a message below with details of the
legislation and contact information for California legislators
form the Appropriation Committee.
Please let our voices be heard on this issue. If closed, it will
set a precedent and it is likely that other states will follow
suit. It is particularly important that California voters voice
their opinions.
Please pass this important message on to other lists as well.
With best wishes,
Juliana Smith
