[OPLINLIST] Stepparent update

[Carol Baker]

I received a phone call from Lynda Murray at OLC with information about
the law pertaining to these questions.  Only the parent or legal guardian
may have access or change information on a minor's card.

It was nice to know we handled the situation properly.
