> Forgive me for not updating information during this last week, it has

> has not been granted, but it could at any time. Then SB1614 will move
> quickly through the process. It could be heard as early as Wednesday
> 14 August in Assembly Appropriations. The following ALERT
> has been shared by our 'partners in opposition.' It is imperative we
> let the committee members know of our objects. ----Iris Carter Jones,

> ACTION ALERT
>
> CALIFORNIA SB1614, WHICH WILL REMOVE THE CALIFORNIA BIRTH AND DEATH
> INDICES FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN, IS ON A FAST TRACK TO THE STATE
> ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS. IMMEDIATE ACTION IS NEEDED.
>
> Heavy opposition has been mounted to kill SB1614. However, in the
> event that our efforts fail, this bill will rapidly move to the
> California State Assembly Committee on Appropriations as early as
> August 14th. We cannot wait for any more committees to wheel and deal.
> Full access to the Birth and Death Indices is at stake. We must act
> now. It is vital that you call, fax, and E-mail ALL MEMBERS OF THE
> CALIFORNIA STATE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS IMMEDIATELY and urge a DO
> NOT PASS vote on SB1614. Tell the committee it must not spend
> taxpayer's money on a bill that won't do what it says it will do.
>
> SB1614 purports to solve the problems of identity theft by removing
> the birth and death indices from public domain. This bill is
> misdirected. It won't work because most experts agree that the
> majority of identity theft occurs through the literal theft of mail,
> purses, or wallets, through on-line and telephone scams, and
> occasionally through the misuse of birth and death CERTIFICATES-NOT
> the indices. In support of this fact, both the Department of
> Justice and the State's Office of Privacy Protection confirm that
> neither office has documentation that the indices have been used for
> identity theft.
>
> SB1614 will cost the state of California more then $2 million dollars
> in the first year alone. In addition, there will be *annual* local
> mandated costs which will run into multimillions of dollars.
>
> In California's current budget CRISIS, taxpayer's dollars must not be
> used to fund a bill that won't work. VOTE NO ON SB1614
