I'm a little confused on this. I went to the bill, section 33, ORS 432.121 and it reads: SECTION 33. ORS 432.121 is amended to read: { - (c) When 100 years have elapsed after the date of birth or 50 years have elapsed after the date of death, marriage or divorce. - } So now it will be: Birth records available after 100 years which is the same now Marriage, Divorce and Death records available after 50 years. So I don't see anywhere in the text that shows the 125 year restriction for birth records or 100 years for death and 75 for marriage. Am I missing something?

In Section 33 of the proposal, ORS 432.121 will be amended to allow the issuance of records only "when 125 years have elapsed after the date of live birth, 75 years have elapsed after the date of death or fetal death or 100 years have elapsed after the date of marriage, domestic partnership, dissolution of marriage or dissolution of domestic partnership." The deadline for input is April 8th (next week!). NOTE: This proposal will change today's rules: Death records become available after 50 years Marriage become available after 75 years Birth records become available after 100 years However, the new rules will not apply to "the subject of the record; spouse, child, parent, sibling or legal guardian of the subject of the record; an authorized representative of the subject of the record, spouse, child, parent, sibling or legal guardian of the subject of the record; and, in the case of death, marriage or divorce records, to other next of kin." Those individuals may obtain copies at any time. The full text of the proposal may be found at http://landru.leg.state.or.us/13reg/measures/hb2000.dir/hb2093.intro.html.
