<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#002060">I would support a simple Bill to enable a short form death certificate for recordation. There would be no opposition. It probably would have unanimous support of the county
recorders, the real property section, the land title association and the Realtors. The only thing missing is a person in the Legislature willing to support it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Hello Listmates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Frequently, as a consequence of what I do, we are required to record a death certificate with the County. As I glanced at another one this morning, I was struck by the amount of personal HEALTH information that
is on the death certificate. I know that in Oregon, for example, you have to request a “short form death certificate” to record is as it omits the health information. I was wondering if anyone else thinks that the approach in Washington is problematic given
Federal law and just general ethics, and if anyone had an idea of what member of our State Government I might raise this with besides blindly contacting my local representative.<o:p></o:p></p>
