DAR File No. 37424
This notice was published in the April 15, 2013, issue (Vol. 2013, No. 8) of the Utah State Bulletin.
Health, Center for Health Data, Vital Records and Statistics
Rule R436-3
Amendment of Vital Records
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 37424
Filed: 03/21/2013 10:39:11 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 26-2-7 authorizes the Office of Vital Records and Statistics to make rules for amending vital records. Section 78B-15-302 codifies a process by which paternity can be established for children born to unwed mothers.
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:
Without the rule outlining the various processes for amending a record based on the corrections/changes desired, changes could not be made. Without the rule regarding paternity establishment, fathers could not be added to birth certificates of their children born outside of wedlock. Those fathers' rights and obligations to their children would not have legal standing. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
