Hi Everyone...Talked to Mark Leno's office person today and AB 130 has been referred back to committee for the time being. Assemblyman Jeffries is the author of the bill. Time to call Jared Huffman our Assemblyman: 479-4920 to express our views on this Bill. Can call Mark Leno's office: 479-6612 also to express our concerns.

At today's Board Meeting, we had a presentation by Jan Allen on a bill the is now in our State Legislature -- AB130. Everyone who was in attendence at the meeting agreed that this is not a bill we would like to see passed. What it does, essentially, is put the same limits on access to marriage records that have already been put on birth and death records in the State of California. This bill is in committee now and will go to the Senate this week. It is urgent that everyone look on the State Legislature website to learn more about it and then write to your Congressmen and Senators, via email or fax, by Monday morning. It is expected that this will pass quickly if the genealogy community doesn't act quickly. Thank you!
