A few weeks ago, I published an article about Pennsylvania Senate Bill 361, which would make state-issued birth and death certificates open after a predetermined amount of years. That article is still available at http://goo.gl/PwUfs. The bill has now been sent to Governor Tom Corbett who already has indicated he will sign it.
You can read more in Blake Stough's "Preserving York" blog at http://goo.gl/6APRA.
Let's hope that other states will learn from Pennsylvania's experience.
