Fees
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 37433
Filed: 03/21/2013 11:52:14 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 26-1-6 authorizes the Department of Health to charge fees for services and to submit those to the Legislature for approval. Statutory language requires that the fees be "reasonable and fair". The Office of Vital Records and Statistics (OVRS) is run as primarily a fee for service entity and fees are assessed for each of the Office's services.
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 rule clarifies that OVRS services cannot be utilized without the payment of the appropriate fee or the prior approval of the State Registrar if the requestor is seeking services at a different rate. This rule allows the Registrar to review requests from those claiming indigent or economic hardship status on a case-by-case basis and not rely on means testing. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
