Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 37423
Filed: 03/21/2013 10:35:23 AM
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:
Section 26-2-6 requires that birth certificates be filed for any child deemed a foundling. It also requires the individual with custody of the foundling to submit as much information about the child as possible so the Office can create as accurate a certificate as possible. It also requires that the information be filed with the Office within 10 calendar days of the child being found.
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:
The rule outlines the minimum amount of data that needs to be provided to the Office of Vital Records and Statistics so a certificate can be created. It also creates a procedure for voiding out the foundling certificate if an original birth certificate can be located and identified as belonging to the child. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
