Awareness of legal actions and how they impact our research

Let's not forget about these issues going on. The Board will discuss what we can do at our board meeting.

Awareness of Bill, Is anyone aware of this bill?

It would keep Birth Certificates unaccessible for 125 years

Perhaps we should send letters to the committee members (Texas House Public Health Committee)

We should also ask Harris County Clerk, Dr. Diane Trautman, to take a stand against this bill.
