Disclosure of Vital Statistics Data, Reports and Records, 10-146 CMR chapter 4

Date posted:

Attachment(s):

The Department is proposing these routine technical changes to align this rule with Maine law (22 MRS § 2706) and further specify the Department’s criteria for determining who may apply and whether an applicant has demonstrated a direct and legitimate interest in the records they wish to receive from the State Registrar. Such proposed changes include adding two categories of applicants who may demonstrate direct and legitimate interest: (1) healthcare practitioners seeking to update their patient records by requesting death certificates and (2) organizations and foundations in Maine administering 529 funds. Another proposed change includes moving the entirety of Section 8B (Authorized Applicants) to Section 6A(4), in order to consolidate all aspects of direct and legitimate criteria within Section 6 and designate Section 8 to the Department’s conditions of data release for such records.
