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:

Execution and registration requirements for death certificates are described in Section 26-2-13. The statute gives the state registrar the authority to direct the manner in which deaths are registered.

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 R436-7 specifies the procedure for completing a death certificate when information necessary is not available within the time limits required by statute. The rule is necessary to ensure that deaths are registered in a timely manner when information is missing. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
