I'm wondering, will this law affect only records from Frankfort or availability incourthouses and in libraries as well. I believe that in Ohio, they recently prohibited the issuance of uncertified copies of vital records and there was talk of confiscating microfilm copies from libraries and such. Supposedly this was in the name of fighting terrorism, though I don't think the cost of paying for the certification would be an obstacle.
