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 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. Section 26-2-3 allows the department to divide the state into local registration districts. Section 26A-1-110 authorizes local health officers to act as local registrars of vital statistics.

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 R436-11 authorizes a fee of $0.50 for vital records registered at local offices and transmitted to the state, for offices not authorized to issue certified copies. In the absence of fees collected from issuing certified copies, this rule provides an important source of revenue to local health offices to support vital records registration activities, and should be continued.
