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 26-1-5 provides that the Department of Health has the power to make rules necessary to carry out the provisions of Title 26. Section 26-2-3 provides that the Department of Health establish a statewide vital records system. Several sections of the Vital Statistics Act (Sections 26-2-16, 26-2-18, and 26-2-23) require monthly reports of vital events in a format specified by the state registrar. This rule provides additional detail on those 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:

Monthly reports of vital events such as births and deaths from facilities and funeral homes are necessary to ensure complete registration of vital events. Rule R436-9 provides specific guidance on the content and format of these monthly reports and should be continued.
