Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The first step
				  in the control of venereal disease is its rapid identification, followed by
				  notification to the local health authority that a case of disease exists within
				  the particular jurisdiction so that prevention or containment measures can be
				  enacted. These program-related activities are authorized and/or mandated by
				  R.S. 40:1061-1068 and Chapter II of the Louisiana Sanitary Code concerning the
				  reporting of venereal disease. To summarize the codal provisions, it is the
				  duty of every physician practicing medicine in the state of Louisiana to report
				  to the state health officer, through the health unit of the parish or
				  municipality wherein such physician practices, any case of reportable disease
				  (including sexually transmitted diseases) which he is attending. The report
				  shall be made promptly at the time the physician first visits, examines or
				  prescribes for the patient, and such report shall state the name, age, sex,
				  race, place where the patient is to be found, nature of the disease and date of
				  onset. OPPHS does not follow-up private patients unless requested to by or with
				  the permission of the private physicians. Venereal disease records are
				  confidential and every effort shall be made to ensure the confidentiality even
				  in the clinical setting. The authority of the confidential nature of sexually
				  transmitted disease records is contained in R. S.44:3.

Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 48 - PUBLIC HEALTH-GENERAL › Part V - Preventive Health Services › Subpart 45 - Vital Records › Chapter 113 - Incomplete or Incorrect Original Certificates › Section V-11301 - Birth Certificates

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. No
				  certified copy of an original birth record that has been submitted for
				  "registration" in the Vital Records Registry as defined in R.S 40:32 (1) shall
				  be issued unless and until the said original birth record contains the
				  information required by
				  R.S.
				  40:34 A(1)(a) through (q), and as required by
				  duly promulgated regulations relative thereto, including the following
				  provisions.
1. If an original birth records
				  is incomplete, incorrect or irregular, the state registrar shall attempt to
				  have the problem resolved through the assistance of the local registrar in
				  parishes other than Orleans, and in the interim period no certified copies of
				  the document will be issued.
2. The
				  provisions of
				  R.S.
				  40:34 A(1)(a) relative to the child's surname
				  appear to conflict with similar provisions in
				  R.S.
				  40:42 A. To resolve this apparent conflict,
				  the provisions of
				  R.S.
				  40:34 A(1)(h), which specifically address the
				  "full name of the father" shall only mean the legal husband of the mother of
				  the child at the time of either conception or birth. It shall also include the
				  name of the husband of the mother of the child, who although divorced from her
				  at the time of the birth, was not legally divorced from the mother of the child
				  more than 300 days prior to the birth of the child. This interpretation
				  conforms fully with Louisiana substantive law, La. Civil Code arts. 179, 184
				  and 185.
a. It likewise follows that the
				  "legal husband of the mother of the child's" age, race, residence and
				  birthplace shall be entered on the birth certificate pursuant to
				  R.S.
				  40:34 A(1)(j), (k), (1) and (m); and also
				  that his surname shall be entered as the child's surname pursuant to R. S.
				  40:34 A(1)(a).
3. In
				  addition to the minimum required information set forth in
				  R.S.
				  40:34 A(1)(a) through (q), the birth
				  certificate form also requires the signature of a legal parent of the child, or
				  the signature of some "other informant," certifying that the stated information
				  is true and correct to the best of his or her knowledge. Should the document
				  not be signed, no certified copy shall be issued as provided therein
				  above.

A.
				  Introduction
1. All documents submitted to
				  accomplish changes on a birth certificate as a result of acknowledgement of
				  paternity of judgments of filiation shall be either the original or certified
				  true copies of the original instruments bearing an official seal. All documents
				  submitted shall be retained by the state registrar.

				  as a consequence of an act of acknowledgement of a filiation judgment shall be
				  distinctly marked "acknowledgement" or "filiation judgment" in the confidential
				  section and shall include the evidentiary basis for the action, the date of the
				  action, and the full signature of the state registrar or his
				  designee.
3. A birth certificate
				  which bears a father's surname and data shall only be altered when there has
				  been a successful disavowal of paternity by the father or heirs in accordance
				  with Codal
				  Articles
				  187 and
				  190
				  within the time specified by Codal article 189. When such a disavowal cannot be
				  obtained, it is suggested that an adoption be considered.
Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 48 - PUBLIC HEALTH-GENERAL › Part V - Preventive Health Services › Subpart 45 - Vital Records › Chapter 115 - Acknowledgments › Section V-11503 - Legitimation

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Except as herein
				  provided in these rules and regulations, a legitimation of an illegitimate
				  child pursuant to
				  Article
				  198 of the Louisiana Civil Code may result in
				  the sealing of the registrant's original certificate of birth and the issuance
				  of a new certificate of birth in the new name of the registrant wherein the
				  registrant's surname shall be that of his father, only if the provisions of
				  R.S.
				  40:46 have been met along with payment of the
				  required fee(s) as set forth in R. S. 40:40.
1. As provided in
				  R.S.
				  40:46 A, a new certificate may be issued only
				  if both parents had been free of any impediments and could have married each
				  other at the time of the child's conception, in accordance with the laws of
				  Louisiana in existence at the time of the child's conception.
2. In circumstances wherein both parents had
				  been free to marry each other and who later do marry but without a formal act
				  of legitimation, and due to the death of one or both parents only informal
				  acknowledgment material is available, a court order will be required before a
				  new certificate may be issued, since neither the state registrar nor the
				  personnel under his supervision in the Vital Records Registry is empowered to
				  adjudicate such a status determination when only informal means of
				  acknowledgment are available.
3. In
				  circumstances where the parents were not free to marry each other at the time
				  of the subject child's conception, and where the parents have later married, if
				  a new certificate is desired, an adoption procedure is recommended. In the
				  alternative, a mandamus proceeding may be brought against the state registrar
				  at the domicile of the Vital Records Registry in an effort to compel the
				  issuance of a new certificate.
