[HistoricCemeteries] Proposed OR House Bill 2093 closes all Vital records for 125 years

[W David Samuelsen]

(4) The preservation management program must provide for the
continued availability of historic vital record documents and
information for research and related purposes. Vital records are
historic when 125 years have elapsed after the date of live
birth, 75 years have elapsed after the date of death or fetal
death or 100 years have elapsed after the date of marriage,
domestic partnership, dissolution of marriage or dissolution of
domestic partnership. Supporting documents, including corrections
and acknowledgments of paternity, may be included with historic
vital records. Records under seal are not historic unless
unsealed by court order.

Currently, 100 years after birth
50 years after death
75 years after marriage

now they want to increase to 100 years for marriage
75 years for death
125 years for birth

That is by far much much worse and misinformation amok.
