The Office of the State Registrar, upon request, may furnish the United States Public Health Service with vital statistics relating to births, deaths, marriages, and marriage dissolutions for utilization in the national vital statistics program. Such vital statistics may be furnished on a contract reimbursement or other satisfactory basis that will insure that the reimbursement shall not be less than the cost to the state nor exceed the federal government’s fair share of the cost of the statewide vital statistics registration and reporting system.
