    1. [CALosAngeles] California Senate Bill 1614
    2. Sue Silver
    3. Good morning, I have received copies of a number of letters people are sending in opposition to this Bill that is now moving through the Assembly. In looking at the history posting on the website, this Bill only passed the Senate by 5 votes and the wording had been changed to just a statement of intent. The new wording of the Bill was amended after the Senate vote when it came before the Assembly. Since the Senate passed the "intent" Bill with such a slim margin, I believe those who oppose this Bill should concentrate your opposition statements and messages on members of the Assembly and the Governor. There are better ways to control identity thieves than this Bill. If we have to lock up every piece and minutia of public information to prevent this, we may as well just lock our front doors and never step outside again. There is far more information about all of us floating around the computers of corporate America that is far more valuable than our birth or death certificates. The government requires our SSI information be included on Death Certificates. Let them figure a better way to protect that information that doesn't punish genealogists and family researchers the way this one does.
