[Records-Access-Alerts] (US-WA) Vital Records Bill Passed Both Houses of Washington State Legislature En Route to GovernorWashington State ESSB 5332  (Vital Records) passed both chambers of the Washington State Legislature, signed by the president of the Senate and the Speaker of the House and is en route to the governor for signature. It is expected that Governor Inslee will sign the bill into law as it was his Department of Health that was sponsoring the bill. This bill has been amended to meet with about 90 percent of the requests from the genealogical community. This includes a 25 year embargo on death records; 100 year embargo on birth records, expansion of those relatives who may access the vital record without waiting for the embargo periods, transferring the records to the state archives within one year and more. No amendments were adopted since it passed the floor of the House which was reported previously in the IAJGS Records Access Alert.  To read the bill as it was passed by the Legislature see: http://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2019-20/Pdf/Bills/Senate%20Bills/5332-S.E.pdf
