I just saw the Feb 17 post by Holly Kirkpatrick. I like the way she succinctly expressed my main concerns about the bill. Maybe her e-mail could be shared at the March 9 meeting. The main concerns for me are: That a request might need to filled out for every single vital record to be examined by a given researcher. That regardless of the age of a vital record, there seems to be no language in the bill or in Assemblywoman Quigley's reply to suggest that any vital record would ever be considered freely accessible. NJ vital records officially start in 1878! Surely some of them could remain open with no chance of assisting any identity thief or terrorist. I am hoping that earlier records that are not officially deemed vital records will not be affected by the bill in any way, but would like confirmation of that. That sharing of information from vital records would not be permitted under any circumstance for genealogical purposes, unless I am reading the bill wrong. Kirsten
