genealogical research. According to Howze, "The 1973 Open Records Act
exempted state and local vital records. This law merely reverses two 191

amendment bars the media from reporting county birth and death records ar
prevents persons from leafing through the certificates and picking out ti
record of a person who matches their age and sex and then using that recc
fraudulently.
