AB 90 Wisconsin Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: copies of and inspection or disclosure of information contained in certain vital records. (FE)

AB 90 modifies rules for accessing certain birth records (vital records) in Wisconsin. It extends the waiting period before records can be disclosed: for births where the mother was unmarried during pregnancy, records become accessible only after 100 years from the date of the request (previously fixed to 1907). The bill allows disclosure only to people with a "direct and tangible interest" in the record or with a court order, and requires written requests with fees for older records. This affects individuals seeking birth certificates for events occurring after 1907, with the cutoff date dynamically shifting based on when the request is made.
