[or-roots] HB 2093

[Glen Jones]

This bill is entirely unneccesary and uncertified copies of 

records cannot be used for I/D and if a office is useing 

them for I/d then they are not following the correct 

procedures, this bill will not stop I/D theft and is not where 

i/d theives get there info. 

I could use stonger words of what I think about our Policical 

Officials. 

This Bill will cost taxpayer's M illions if not Billions in Taxes 

it seems Oregon is delibertly trying to run people out of the state 

in particular senior citizens, I know I would move if I was not 

one of those that is underwater.

To all, 

The bill has been scheduled for April 10 in Health Care Committee. 

Please take note of the amendments which have NOT been adopted. 

https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2013R1/Downloads/ProposedAmendment/924 

Still in need of few more tweaking. 

1. One is changing to 105 years for birth records to be transferred to 
State Archives. 125 is most extreme and only Oregon is pursuing it. 
Pennsylvania considered it and balked, going to 105 instead. Virginia 
changed from 125 to 105. 

2. There's nothing herein, requiring the State Archives to stamp or mark 
the uncertified copies for genealogy purposes. This is a safeguard 
against identity theft. Wisconsin do this. 

3. Revenue is in question. Impact of loss of revenue for the Health 
Bureau. What about tourism $ impact if the amendments are not adopted 
and the bill is? 

4. What about requiring the State Registrar to mark or stamp birth 
records as deceased as soon as is known and VERIFIED. This will thwart 
the identity theft because the thieves prefer CERTIFIED copy. 

5. How about the possibility of having digital copies available online 
like several states are doing now? Missouri (50 years death, 44 years 
for marriages), Arizona, Georgia, Ohio, Utah (50 years deaths, births 
100), Montana (most liberal, births 2004!), Iowa (deaths to 1990) to 
name a few. 

6. Least of all, this bill is written as if we are still in PRE-Internet 
Age.
