Duties of the Department of Health

Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation

DAR File No.: 37418

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Sections 26-2-2 through 26-2-4 authorize the state registrar to develop a uniform system throughout the state to register vital events. This system will register events and provide data for statistical reports. In order for those reports to have congruency from local district to local district, the state registrar is also given the authority to create forms and other processes, as necessary.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This section outlines local deputy registrars' duties, as well as the requirements for data collection. Without these, data quality for reporting purposes would diminish. Quality of legal information on certificates (names, dates, etc) would also be in doubt. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
