More Info I received from the same list. Looks like it may not be as drastic as the newspaper article from Muscatine, Iowa says but still some cause for concern. Stacey D. Here's the text of Senate Bill 2845 as it pertains to Birth Certificates only - http://www.congress.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c108:3:./temp/~c1080BEbKh::. Looks to me like it's already been passed and it doesn't make any provision for providing access to records prior to 1935 when the Social Security Act was signed. I still haven't found anything that has to do with death certificates.
