Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) When a birth, foundling
birth, death, or fetal death has occurred in this state but no certificate as to such event has been
filed or registered in accordance with the provisions of section 25-2-110 or 25-2-112, a
certificate as to such event may be accepted for filing or registration, or both, in accordance with
applicable regulations concerning certificates that have not been timely or properly filed or
registered. The state registrar shall endorse on the certificate a summary statement of the
evidence submitted to substantiate the facts asserted in such certificate. If a certificate is not
registered until more than a year after the event, the state registrar shall mark the word
"Delayed" on the face thereof.
(2) When the state registrar finds the certificate or such supplementary evidence as may
be required by regulations to be deficient or invalid, the certificate shall not be registered, and
the person who requested the registration shall be advised in writing both as to the basis for the
alleged deficiency or invalidity and also as to such person's right of appeal. Judicial review of the
action of the state registrar may be had in accordance with the provisions of section 24-4-106,
C.R.S., but an action for judicial review shall be commenced within sixty days after the date the
state registrar gives his notice in writing of his decision. If no action for judicial review is
commenced within said period, the state registrar shall return the certificate and all documents
submitted in support thereof to the person submitting the same if registration of the certificate
has been refused.
