Health Statistics Act

North Dakota · 23 · §§ 23-02.1-01 to 23-02.1-33 · 36 sections

Overview

The act governs the registration and safekeeping of vital records — births, deaths, fetal deaths, and marriages — as well as the events that alter them, such as adoption, legitimation, paternity determination, divorce, annulment, and a change of sex. It establishes a state office of statistical services headed by a state registrar, divides the state into registration districts served by local registrars and subregistrars, and prescribes the form, content, and timing of records, along with procedures for delayed registration, correction and amendment, permits, reproduction of records, and the fees charged for copies. It also limits disclosure of vital records and the data drawn from them, requires those who attend or handle vital events to keep records and furnish the information needed to register them, and imposes penalties for failing to comply.
