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:

The Vital Statistics Act, Section 26-2-3, authorizes the Department of Health to establish a statewide vital records system, while Section 26-2-4 authorizes the department to specify the content and form of vital records certificates and reports.

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:

Rule R436-1 establishes the statewide system of vital records, defines the responsibilities of state and local registrars, and describes standards for vital event certificates. The system described by Rule R436-1 continues to function effectively and in the absence of written comment should be continued as is.
