Assembly Bill 90 proposes amendments to Wisconsin's vital records law, specifically altering the criteria for the inspection, issuance, and copying of vital records. The bill replaces the fixed date of October 1, 1907, with a more flexible criterion that allows for the inspection or disclosure of information contained in vital records if the event occurred at least 100 years prior to the date of the request. This change applies to various sections of the law, including those governing birth records, certified copies, and uncertified copies of vital records.

Key amendments include the insertion of language that specifies the new date criteria for accessing records, which will now be based on whether the event occurred on or after January 1 of the year that is 100 years prior to the request date. Additionally, the bill clarifies the conditions under which uncertified copies can be issued and stipulates that any such copies must be marked as not for identity purposes. Overall, the bill aims to modernize access to historical vital records while maintaining certain privacy protections for more recent records.
