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. Section 26-2-26 authorizes state and local registrars to prepare copies or reproductions of original vital records. This rule establishes the requirements for the issuance of copies of vital records.

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 R436-14 contains requirements for certified copies that are important to provide uniformity to copies issued by state and local registrars. The rule also contains provisions for verifications of vital events, and guidance for events possibly registered through misrepresentation or fraud. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
