However, this legislation remained intact for only 2 years, after than it was repealed but just after 4 years again, the act was re-enacted in 1899. The state established a department named The State Department of Vital Records in 1923 and once the department began their operations, it ordered all the town and county officers to send the copies of prior birth and death information to them. The Marriage records prior to 1st July, 1925 were not made available to the department of vital statistics as they were not properly maintained by the state. However, marriages records after 1925 were properly maintained by the department of vital statistics as they ensured that each and every event of marriage, death and birth taking place within the state is registered and present within their records.
