House Study Bill 34

Conference Committee Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 144.13, subsection 1, paragraph d, Code
  1  2 1995, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    d.  In the case of a child born out of wedlock, the
  1  4 certificate shall be filed directly with the state registrar.
  1  5 On a monthly basis, the The state registrar shall may transmit
  1  6 to the appropriate county local boards of health such
  1  7 information from birth certificates for the sole purpose of
  1  8 identifying those children in need of inoculations
  1  9 immunizations.
  1 10    Sec. 2.  Section 152D.3, subsection 2, Code 1995, is
  1 11 amended to read as follows:
  1 12    2.  An out-of-state applicant for an athletic trainer
  1 13 license must fulfill the requirements of subsection 1,
  1 14 paragraph paragraphs "a" or and "b", and submit proof of
  1 15 active engagement as an athletic trainer in the other state.  
  1 16                           EXPLANATION
  1 17    Section 1 strikes the separate process by which out-of-
  1 18 wedlock birth certificates are filed directly to the
  1 19 department of public health.  Additionally, the department
  1 20 would be allowed to provide information from all births to
  1 21 local public health officials to support immunization
  1 22 activities.
  1 23    Section 2 establishes the same requirements for an athletic
  1 24 trainer license for in-state and out-of-state licensee
  1 25 candidates.  
  1 26                      BACKGROUND STATEMENT
  1 27                     SUBMITTED BY THE AGENCY
  1 28    This bill completes the statutory changes initiated during
  1 29 the 1994 session in H.F. 2410 to eliminate the disparate
  1 30 process by which birth certificates are filed based on marital
  1 31 status.  Currently, county registrars are not allowed to
  1 32 accept and file birth certificates when the mother is unwed.
  1 33 This requires that out-of-wedlock birth certificates must be
  1 34 filed directly with the state registrar.  This legislation
  1 35 eliminates that practice and the stigma of filing out-of-
  2  1 wedlock births, removes unnecessary encumbrances on the county
  2  2 registrar, and allows the state registrar to share information
  2  3 on all births with the local boards of health for the purposes
  2  4 of promoting increased immunization rates of infants and
  2  5 children.
  2  6    The athletic trainer advisory board recommends a technical
  2  7 correction which inadvertently establishes a different
  2  8 standard of licensing candidates from out-of-state.  Both in-
  2  9 state and out-of-state licensees would be required to complete
  2 10 approved training and pass an examination.
