§ 103240 Amending Transmitted Certificates

This law says that if a certificate has already been sent to the State Registrar and later gets changed, the change must also be sent to the Registrar so they can review it before it can be filed.

Key Takeaways

  • •Any amendment to a certificate already transmitted to the State Registrar must also be sent to the State Registrar.
  • •The State Registrar reviews the amendment to determine if it can be filed.
  • •This rule applies only when the original certificate was previously transmitted to the Registrar.

Example

A nurse updates a patient's medical certificate after the original was already submitted to the State Registrar.

The nurse must forward the updated certificate to the State Registrar, who will then check it and decide whether it can be officially filed.
