SB 1034 - This act allows the release of birth and death
records after a certain length of time. Section 193.245, RSMo,
currently prohibits the release of birth and death records,
except in certain situations as listed in the section. New
language adds a provision for the release of birth and death
records that are at least seventy-two years old, based on the
date of request. In addition, microfilms of such birth and death
records should be released, along with record indexes, to the
State Archives. Requests will be subject to fees equivalent to
the cost of copying the records.
