Dear Sovereign Bodies Institute,
On September 30, 2020, Colusa county received your Public Records Act request, seeking informational copies of all American Indian and Alaska Native death certificates held by the Colusa County Clerk's office. Please note that the County does not maintain death certificates by ethnicity, and so the County has no way to obtain the information requested. Moreover, such a request for confidential information is prohibited under California Health and Safety Code sections 102100, 103526 and California Government Code section 6254(k). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter.
Sincerely,
Jennifer K. Sutton
Senior Deputy County Counsel
County of Colusa
1213 Market Street
Colusa, CA 95932
