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?
https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB703/2019
It would keep Birth Certificates unaccessible for 125 years
Perhaps we should send letters to the committee members (Texas House Public Health Committee)
https://house.texas.gov/committees/committee/?committee=C410
We should also ask Harris County Clerk, Dr. Diane Trautman, to take a stand against this bill.
