Rice, Health Director Contact: David Rice 798-6591 Subject: Reconsideration of the Resolution to Support Legislation Authorizing Counties to Set Fees for Local Environmental Health Food and Lodging Services Brief Summary: The North Carolina Association of Local Health Directors, at its meeting on September 21, 2006, requested local boards of health and county boards of commissioners to adopt a resolution to support legislation authorizing counties to set fees for local environmental health food and lodging services. North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources mandates sanitation inspections and permitting of food and lodging facilities to be performed by local public health department personnel, acting as Agents of the State. The State currently charges an annual fee ($50) to all permitted food and lodging facilities and disburses a portion of the fees collected to local health departments. Current fees are not adequate to conduct the mandated services. State support for the food and lodging services in New Hanover County is less than 2.4 percent. The cost associated with the permitting and inspections is bome almost • exclusively by the county as an unfunded ma date by the State. (94.

Health (BOH) Rule? This is a short course designed to bolster your knowledge about the rulemaking responsibility, boundaries and procedures for local nNOPH board of health members. Slide 2 ..Board of Health Rulemaking..;- Hello, my name is Aimee Wall. I am o nha ry ~4, a faculty member at the UNC Aimee Wall Institute of Government in Chapel •Insfituteof Hill. The Institute is part of the UNC Government School of Government. • UNC School of y' Government At the Institute, I work with citizens, nNCIPH students and state and local governments on issues related to North Carolina's public health laws. • In recent years, I have spent a good • bit of time learning about North Carolina's boards of health, with a particular focus on their rulemaking authority. That is what I would like to talk with you about today. Slide 3 7o tcs During this tutorial, we are going to P k answer some fundamental questions o°H)rule? Board of Health about board of health rules. • What kinds of rules may a BOH adopt? First, what is a BOH rule? • General rulemoking Second, what kinds of authority • Special Authority rules may a BOH adopt? • What special pr«eduml requirements apply to We will address the mlemaking? MCIPH = board's general authority to make rules as well as the limitations on this authority Finally, we will briefly review a few • of the procedural requirements that North Carolina law imposes on the rulemaking process. While these questions seem quite • basic, you will be surprised to see how complicated the answers have become over the years. Slide 4 Section 1, What is a board of health - 4 r rule? Section 1: What is a Board of Health (BOH) Rule? This section will focus on the definition of a board of health rule and explain how a rule differs from a county ordinance or a policy. 61NC.1PH Slide 5 North Carolina has a state law that what l:;o!soH tile2 _a says local boards of health have the • "A [BOH] shall have the authority to adopt rules necessary to responsibility to protect and protect and promote the public • promote the public health. The board shall have the authority to health. adopt rules necessary for that purpose." Gs. 13M29 MNICIPH Slide 6 __Whatisthelegal effedofa.BOH..,,,... So, a BOH has the authority to adopt °tile2 rules, but... • Prohibit citizens m from doing What are these "rules" and, more something or •Requirecitizens - specifically, "what is the legal effect to do of a BOH rule?" something: nNCIPH A board of health rule is basically a directive that is adopted by a local board of health. A rule can prohibit citizens from doing something or require citizens to do something. For example, a • board of health rule can prohibit • smoking inside the county health department. Or a board of health rule can require a citizen to follow a certain procedure if she wants to install a new septic system on her property. Slide 7 What.is Are these rules actually "laws"? Yes, a:BOH Rule2„. indeed they are. If a BOH rule is Is a board of health rule a properly adopted, it has the same law? i" •Yes force as any other applicable law. • Rules are laws adopted Individuals within the board's by administrative bodies - •Enforceable jurisdiction are required to comply - with that law. If they don't comply, mwarH they can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor - a criminal offense. The county attorney may also want to go to court to get an injunction - which would likely result in the court telling the individual to comply with the rule. In some limited situations, people can also be fined. For example, if the BOH has adopted local rules governing private wells, the health director has the authority to assess fines for violations of those rules. Slide 8 Let's take a moment to talk about whar fs asOH Rule? ' terminology. We call laws adopted • Rules = Regulations by boards of health "rules" but we -Delegated authority could easily use the term • Develop laws to protect the public "regulation" instead. These terms health are basically interchangeable. Rules • Oversee the health department and regulations are, in short, laws mwcirn adopted by an administrative body - such as a federal, state or local agency. • Most health departments are agencies of the county, which are, in turn, a part of the state. Other types of health departments, such as • district health departments and public health authorities are also agencies. The boards of health have been delegated authority by the state to develop administrative laws necessary to protect the public health and to oversee the health department in general. Slide 9 eoMRu6,.ConlyOrdinnnce So, how is a BOH rule different from ftr. diffw" Gcm en anlinence2y a county ordinance? Both are -Scope of authority considered laws but there are three -BOH limited to health; county basic differences to keep in mind. is not -Elected vs. appointed -Elected officials have more First, a Board of Health rule is expansive authority limited to. rules related to health. A tav:w county ordinance, which is adopted by the board of county commissioners, can encompass any variety of issues affecting a county, • including health-related issues. Second, a fundamental difference between the board of commissioners and a board of health is that the commissioners are elected, whereas the board of health members are appointed. As an elected, legislative body, the commissioners are able to make some decisions and adopt some laws that boards of health may not be able to. This concept - the difference in authority between an a elected and an appointed body - will come up again later during this tutorial. • Slide 10 IOHRule n;County Ordinance _ The final noteworthy difference, ilow.u Rrlil(erentlmm an ordMnncez between a BOH rule and a county • BOH rules apply to ordinance is that a BOH rule will entire county apply throughout the entire county, •Ordinances do not including municipalities. In general , apply to municipalities )unless an ordinance will not govern municipality so chooses) municipalities (unless, of course, the "NICIP+ o municipality chooses to be governed by it). Slide 11 ;-Rule vs,-policy How is a BOH rule different from a 'Misi.leii,Ale diiferenflromcpolic policy? Basically, a BOH rule is a, •9oH rule is a law law and a policy is not. This seems • policy is noto law • A rule is simple, but this distinction tends to enforceable confuse people a good bit in against the general public practice. Boards of health may adopt policies governing just about ,,,,r„N„ anything at the health department • and the policies may be enforceable against the department's employees but policies do not have the force of law. A person could not be charged with a misdemeanor for violating a BOH policy. If an employee violates a BOH policy, it is possible that the health director could take action against the employee. Some boards of health have tried to adopt "policies" in areas where they don't have the legal authority to adopt a "rule." I strongly advise them against doing this - it is simply wrong to ignore the limits on the boards rulemaking authority by adopting a policy instead. For example, boards of health have limited authority to regulate smoking • in county buildings. Some boards of health have tried to adopt policies that prohibit smoking in a building, knowing full well that it could not • adopt a valid rule prohibiting smoking in that building. We'll talk more about the scope of BOH authority in the time that follows. Slide 12 Here are a few discussion questions "Drscusswn.Queshons - to consider. • What are some of the political issues that might come into play when - deciding whether to adopt a rule First, what are some of the political rather than an ordinance? • Do you have any BOH rules in your issues. that might come into play jurisdiction? when deciding whether to adopt a • What is an example of a BOH policy rule rather than an ordinance? in your jurisdiction?

In Section 2, Section 2: Rules That a Board of we are going to examine the kind of Health May Adopt rules a board of health may adopt. Pan 1: Authority to Make Rules In Part 1, we will focus on the general authority of a board to make nNCiPH rules. In Part 2, we will examine the special limitations that are applied to specific areas of rulemaking. Slide 2 As we discussed in Section 1, state ";General Auihonty law directs boards of health to •May adopt rules necessary to protect and promote the public protect and promote the public health and authorizes them to adopt health rules in order to do so. The -Have the pr responsibility public health protect and promote the public health language in this law is quite strong - (G.3. 130A-39(o)-(b)) it actually says that boards have the ONCIPH responsibility to do this. That is a • pretty important mandate and it could be intimidating to a new board member. Slide 3 But boards of health are not acting ,__General Authonty - - r alone in trying to protect the public • Other go.erameat rulemokmg health in this state. The federal bodies share responsibility -Federal government is involved in many -CDC and EPA -s • Stale public health issues, primarily -Commission far Heath through agencies such as the Services -EmironmentalManagement Centers for Disease Control (CDC) MNCIPH Commission 3 and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Their laws apply throughout the country. The state government is also involved. The General Assembly regularly enacts legislation that affect health. These laws often • delegate rulemaking responsibility to one of two state rulemaking bodies: the Commission for Health Services and the Environmental Management • Commission. These rulemaking bodies are comparable to boards of health because they are appointed . bodies authorized to adopt rules for certain purposes. They adopt many, many rules that affect local health departments - such as rules governing: e what services must be provided by health departments • How a health department should respond when it identifies a person who has a communicable disease and the requirements that apply to restaurant inspections. With limited exceptions, state statutes and regulations apply across the entire state and therefore are important partners in your job to • protect and promote the public's health. Slide 4 z. GeneraMuthority, _ What happens if the board of health Anreraiifio 'VAt other state roles = - wants to adopt a rule about • BOH rule may be m r stringent than the Environments something and there is already a Management Commission (EMC) rule in place adopted by one of these or Commission (or Health Services Is rule where "a more stringent other state rulemaking bodies? rule is required to protect the public health" Well, state law specifically allows a.s.,3a,-=9=)(b) local boards to adopt rules that are MNCIPH more stringent than a state rule. That means that the board of health can adopt a rule that goes above and beyond any state rule that is in place. For example, imagine the state had a rule requiring all homeowners to get their drinking water tested for • arsenic. The BOH could not adopt a rule saying homeowners are not • required to have their water tested. That would be less stringent. They may, however, be able to adopt a rule that requires homeowners to get additional water testing in some situations. Such a provision may be considered more stringent. We have had two court cases in recent years that have challenged BOH general rulemaking authority. Board members should be aware of these cases and understand the limitations that they place on the board's general authority. The first case we'll address speaks directly to the issue of adopting a rule that is more stringent than a state rule. Slide 5 There was a case out of Chatham ~GeneralAuthony y County that was decided by the NC • BON must esploin why more sM,ent roles needed 'a respond to local haolth need Supreme Court, in 2002. Several • BON hog farm rules imolideted •'Did not include any rationale years earlier, the board of or basis in C'onh Chath making commissioners adopted a hog farm mfln tngo am County 9 Plica "oa'ndf.H.ad ordinance and the board of health "thetest ofthestnte.' adopted hog farm rules. The two Craig .Countyal CIamna. 356 N.C. 40 f2 MI Yes NOPM 5 local laws were identical. The court invalidated both of them, but for different reasons. The court essentially said that the county commissioners could not adopt an ordinance on this issue because the state had already regulated this field completely. In other words, the state had established a "complete and integrated scheme" for regulating hog farms. The court invalidated the board of health rules for a different reason. • They recognized that the board has the authority to adopt more stringent local rules even when the state has established a complete and • integrated scheme of regulation. The court said, however, that they could only do it if they explain that local rules are needed to respond to a local health concern. In other . words, the board has to justify why more stringent rules are necessary in its jurisdiction as compared to all of the other areas of the state. If the board had included such a justification, the rules may have been upheld by the court. It is important to note that this need for local justification is probably an issue only when the board is considering adopting a rule in a field that is already heavily regulated by the state. Slide 6 General Authority The second case that imposed some • Five-part ta forBOH tiles limitations on board of health 1. Are related to the promotion rulemaking authority arose in Halifax or protection of health County. It had to do with BOH rules 2. Are reasonable in light of the health risk addressed regulating smoking in public places. 3. Do not violate any low or We will talk in more depth later constitutional provision about the BOH authority to regulate NNOPH smoking. For now, I would like to focus on the general principles that came out of this case. The court outlined a five-part test that BOH rules must satisfy in order to be considered valid. The first three parts of the test are good common-sense.. First, the rules must be related to the promotion or protection of health. This is consistent with the state law we looked at a moment • ago outlining the scope of the board's general authority - boards • have the authority to "protect and promote" health Second, the rules must be reasonable in light of the health risk addressed. This "reasonableness" requirement applies to basically all administrative rules. The court is just cautioning boards - "Don't go overboard" Third, the rules must not violate any law or constitutional provision. For example, a state law prohibits boards of health from regulating restaurant inspections. Therefore,. boards may not regulate restaurant inspections. Slide 7 General Authority Now we'll talk about the last two • Five-part testfor'BOKrules - parts of the test. They are a little 4. Are not discriminatory more complex. 5. Do not make distinctions based upon policy concerns traditionally reserved for legislative bodies The fourth one is that the rules must City of RoonokeRapids v.Peedle,124N.C. not be discriminatory. I believe App 578(1996) what the court meant with this step to aPH is that, the rule must not discriminate between two people who are similarly situated. In other words, if one person is regulated and another person in a similar position is not, there must be a good reason for treating them differently. The fifth and final part of the test is that the rules must not make distinctions based upon policy concerns traditionally reserved for legislative bodies. Slide 8 GenetnlAuthonty Court invalidated rules : The court in the Halifax County -case .ba>edor,a'ands relied primarily on the fourth and • The mles discriminated fifth parts of the test to invalidate inappropriately because they protected the health of employees in the Halifax County BOH smoking some restaurants and not others rules. -Regulations varied based on -Size of restaurant -whether it had a bar With respect to the fourth part of the ntrclpH a test, the court discussed the fact that the rules treated restaurants differently depending on things such as the size of the restaurant and whether the restaurant had a bar. Because the rules made these kinds of distinctions, the court concluded that the rules discriminated inappropriately. Basically, if the rules are intended to protect the health of the employees in the restaurants, the rules cannot discriminate between employees in different types of restaurants • without a good reason for doing so. The rules must protect them all in the same way. Slide 9 ; General Authority: Court invalidated , Looking at the fifth part of the test, :;~ralesbtiaedzon J andf5 the court concluded that the rules meBoard mode ndiey allom`ng made policy distinctions reserved for legislativee bodies w whhen they allowed smoking in wine restaurants and not others legislative bodies when they allowed • Court inferred that the board made distinctions based on reasons unrelated to smoking in some restaurants and public health (such as economic hardship) • BOHmust only consider healthunless a not others. legblaeve body directs it otherwise nvCIPH In distinguishing between restaurants with and without bars, for example, the court inferred that the board of health was making a decision based on economic considerations. The court surmised that the BOH allowed smoking in restaurants with bars because the board concluded that smoking was • considered essential to the bar's business. The court also inferred • that the board of health made decisions based upon the difficulty of enforcing the rules in some settings. The court explained that legislative bodies - such as the General Assembly or the board of county commissioners - should be the ones to develop policies that balance the relative importance of protecting health against the economic interests of business owners.

The other rulemaking body, as we discussed earlier, is the Commission for Health Services. Most public health rules come out of the Commission for Health Services. DENR refers to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, which is the agency that is responsible for various programs affecting public health, including food and lodging, wells and septic systems. NCAC refers to the NC Administrative Code -which is where all of the rules or • regulations of the Health Services Commission and Environmental Management Commission are published. • Finally, GS refers to the General Statutes - which is where the laws passed by the state General Assembly are published.

This is the reference to the law where this limitation is found. I have tried to include these references throughout the tutorial so that you can consult the laws directly if you have questions. • Slide 4 With respect to wells, the Special ~mdahom:Wills situation is slightly different. • eOH may adopt local well The state has rules regulating rules • Must adopt EMC well rules some types of wells, but there by reference and adopt more stringent rules "when are gaps in those rules.

So, boards of health may have local well rules - and many do - but they should only do so if they adopt the state rules by reference and then add any more stringent provisions that they decide are necessary to protect the public health. • Slide 5 What does it mean to "adopt the Spe'dal Lmdahomi .Walla state rules by reference"? -"Adopting by reference' Basically, it means that the state -The state rules become local rules as they are written become rules and then the BOH local rules and then the board of supplements the rules health adds more requirements G.S. 87.96; 15A NCAC 02C (EMC rvb•) or restrictions to supplement the MVC1PH 6 state rules.

I'm only aware of two North Carolina counties that have adopted local on-site rules (Wake County and Orange County). There is one major reason why local governments are shying away from local rules in this area. Local rules mean more potential liability and expense for the county. Let me explain. When local environmental health specialists (or sanitarians) are enforcing the state's on-site rules, they are acting as "agents of the state." Therefore, if the specialist or the county is sued based on the • specialist's actions, the state will (in most cases) step in and help out. A lawyer from the attorney general's office may represent the specialist and the state will likely pay some or all of the judgment. While there are some exceptions that may apply, it is still an excellent safety net for the county and the specialist. If the board of health adopts local rules, this safety net goes away. The county, the specialist, or the county's insurance company would be responsible for providing an attorney and paying the judgment. • Slide 8 Okay, now for the tricky . Special Umlfatiomi3molang - limitation -regulation of • Local regulation of smoking. State law in this area smoking is quite limited under state has severely limited the ability of law local government lawmakers - • Limitations apply to rules adopted including boards of health to after October 1993 regulate smoking in public places. LIVCIPM • To try to simplify things a bit, I have broken the state law limitations down into several categories. Before describing these categories, it is important to note that these special limitations on rulemaking authority I am about to discuss apply only to rules proposed or adopted after October 15, 1993. If your board • of health had a rule in place prior to October 1993, the rules will probably be okay as long as they are consistent with the limitations • placed on the board's general rulemaking authority discussed earlier in this tutorial Slide 9 >Special Limitations: Smoking The first category we will talk =bcategcnabout includes -smoking - Category 1 .

Slide 10 Special Limitations: Smoking, Local governments are allowed - • Gategoryl'=' but not required - to establish a May establish nonsmoking areas nonsmoking area in any Category -20%ofinterior space ofequal 1 facility. The law does not quality must be smoking unless physically impracticable specify how much of the property -If 20% is physically impracticable, or space is required to be 20"k be as near as possible to nonsmoking but, as a general nNaPn 9 rule, the local law must reserve 20% of the facility's interior space for smoking. The law specifies that the quality of the smoking space must be "equal" to that of the nonsmoking space. So while the law does not say that the lobby or any other particular area must be designated for smoking, it would be unwise to send smokers to a closet in the basement because that space would likely not be considered to be of "equal • quality" to the nonsmoking area. There is an important exception • to this 20% requirement. If the local government body concludes that designating 20% of the space as smoking would be "physically impracticable," it can designate a smaller area for smoking. According to the law, that smaller area must be as near as possible to 20% of the interior space. We do not know what the term "physically impracticable" means in this context. Dictionary definitions of the term suggest that the task must be impossible. That seems to be a fairly high threshold to meet. But many local governments in the state have put forward arguments in order to avail themselves of the • exception. Some have argued this to an extreme. For example, some assert that it is "impracticable" for a building to have any smoking indoors at all because the ventilation system will recirculate the smoky air and affect the health of non-smokers. It is unclear how North Carolina's courts would respond to such a rationale. • Slide 11 $pedal Lmitations:5molang Let's now discuss the second • '~.C?bga0'2 - category of smoking regulation • Local limitations.

Start • by asking the following questions: • Is the rule necessary to protect and promote the public health - as we discussed, this is the basic authority provided, to boards. If the answer is yes, you can then ask: Is the rule reasonable in light of the health risk addressed? If it is also reasonable then you can ask: • Does the rule treat similarly situated persons equally? As the court explained in the Halifax county case, the BOH rule must not discriminate. • Slide 3 If your answers to the first three BOM:Rulemalung_Clieddtst ~'WT questions were yes, you should ask • ?Is the rule within the BOH's general whether the rule balances factors authority? ?Does H balance factors other than other than health?

If no specific authority exists, the rule would be beyond the scope of the board's authority. If the board does have specific authority, it then ask: • If there are state rules on the same subject - such as hog farms, you should ask whether there is a local health reason for making local rules more stringent than those followed by the rest of the state?

Second, the board must publish a • notice in the paper at least 10 days before the proposed action. The notice must state: • The substance of the proposed rule or a description of the subjects and issues involved; The proposed effective date; and also That copies of the rule are available at the health department.

Our team currently has 17 members which are either appointed by their agency board, per the state addendum, or are appointed by New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. Our team currently has two openings. The mission of the NHC CFPT is to promote the development of a community wide approach to understanding the causes of childhood fatalities, identify the deficiencies in public agencies to deliver services to children and families, and to make and carry out recommendations for change in system delivery to prevent future childhood deaths. The NHC CFPT meets on a quarterly basis with meetings in February, May, August and November. Several team members attended 2 state fatality reviews in 2005. A state review is conducted when the family is involved with DSS at the time of death. The attendance this year has averaged 7 community members and 2 Health Department staff members per meeting. The team reviews deaths that occurred in the previous year. During 2005 the team reviewed the deaths of 17 children. Of these deaths 5 were due to extreme prematurity and complications associated with this. Four deaths were due to congenital abnormalities. Two children died due to existing medical conditions. Two deaths involved motor vehicles. There were two child deaths due to SIDS and one shooting victim. No trends were identified this year in New Hanover County. • The New Hanover Child Fatality Prevention Team receives funds annually from DHHS via the Child Health Contract Addendum. This year funds were used to purchase car seats and combination smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors. These were distributed to low income families. The New Hanover County Health Department Health Promotion Team educated the families receiving the car seats on the child safety seat laws and proper use and installation. The Wilmington Fire Department distributes the smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors with referrals from the Health Department. A small amount was spent on refreshments. This money was in the fiscal budget `04-`05. The New Hanover County Child Fatality Team continues to work to improve participation of its members and invite persons related to investigations of child deaths to be a part of the review process. Attendance has been steady and members share agency information with the coordinator prior to the reviews when they are unable to attend. The team has worked diligently to obtain and review needed records and work collaboratively in the process of the actual review of each child death.

"Though the decrease is less than one percent, it marks a return to an overall downward trend in child fatality rates for our state" said a statement released today by Jennifer Tolle Whiteside and Tom Vitaglione, Co-Chairs of the NC Child Fatality Task Force. The death rate had increased in 2004 after a decade of steady decline. Official figures gathered by the State Center for Health Statistics show a 2005 rate of 76.9 deaths per 100,000 children less than 18 years of age. This represents a slight decrease from 2004, but is a remarkable 28% lower than the rate in 1991, when the NC Child Fatality Task Force was established. "Although there is some relief that the rate is continuing the downward trend that began in the early 1990s, our state still needs to be concerned for its youngest citizens," said Selena Berrier, Executive Director of the Task Force. The release of these data begins the annual study cycle of the NC Child Fatality Task Force. "The data present us with questions about why and how children die. We work to find answers to these questions and make recommendations that will lead to a reduction in child deaths," said Berrien Highlights of the data include: • The death rate remained the same for infants, but decreased slightly in all other age categories. • • Motor vehicle-related deaths decreased in 2005 by almost 20%, but remain the primary cause of death for 15-17 year olds. "In recent years, the Task Force has sponsored the adoption of the graduated driver's license system, including a new restriction on cell phone use by teen drivers which will go into effect in December 2006. Other efforts include stricter requirements for booster seats, and safety requirements for all-terrain vehicles," said Vitaglione, who is a Senior Fellow with Action for Children NC. "We have been successful in protecting many children, but there is more work to be done." • The number of deaths due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) increased slightly in 2005, and Task Force leaders plan to continue efforts to support SIDS reduction campaigns as well as other efforts to reduce infant deaths associated with sleep positioning. • Compared to 2004, deaths due to unintentional injuries declined overall, while homicide and suicide numbers increased. Child abuse homicides typically increase when overall homicides rates increase. Data from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will be released in conjunction with Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina on September 20, 2006. • There were 61 deaths due to firearms in 2005, up from 39 in 2004. "This alarming increase will make gun safety a Task Force focus in the next year", said Berrien The NC Child Fatality Task Force also released the number of child deaths for each county by cause and age. Because the numbers for each county are relatively small, rates are not computed. State and county data can be found online at www.ncehild.oriz/content/view/280/165/ In 1991, the NC General Assembly adopted a child fatality prevention initiative. This initiative established the NC Child Fatality Task Force, which was charged with studying the incidence and causes of child deaths. Since its inception, the NC Child Fatality Task Force has made numerous recommendations for changes to legislation, rules, and policies likely to prevent deaths and promote the well-being of children.

"Though the decrease is less than one percent, it marks a return to an overall downward trend in child fatality rates for our state" said a statement released today by Jennifer Tolle Whiteside and Tom Vitaglione, Co-Chairs of the NC Child Fatality Task Force. The death rate had increased in 2004 after a decade of steady decline. Official figures gathered by the State Center for Health Statistics show a 2005 rate of 76.9 deaths per 100,000 children less than 18 years of age. This represents a slight decrease from 2004, but is a remarkable 28% lower than the rate in 1991, when the NC Child Fatality Task Force was established. "Although there is some relief that the rate is continuing the downward trend that began in the early 1990s, our state still needs to be concerned for its youngest citizens," said Selena Berrier, Executive Director of the Task Force. The release of these data begins the annual study cycle of the NC Child Fatality Task Force. "The data present us with questions about why and how children die. We work to find answers to these questions and make recommendations that will lead to a reduction in child deaths," said Berrier. Highlights of the data include: • The death rate remained the same for infants, but decreased slightly in all other age categories. • • Motor vehicle-related deaths decreased in 2005 by almost 20%, but remain the primary cause of death for 15-17 year olds. "In recent years, the Task Force has sponsored the adoption of the graduated driver's license system, including a new restriction on cell phone use by teen drivers which will go into effect in December 2006. Other efforts include stricter requirements for booster seats, and safety requirements for all-terrain vehicles," said Vitaglione, who is a Senior Fellow with Action for Children NC. "We have been successful in protecting many children, but there is more work to be done." • The number of deaths due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) increased slightly in 2005, and Task Force leaders plan to continue efforts to support SIDS reduction campaigns as well as other efforts to reduce infant deaths associated with sleep positioning. • Compared to 2004, deaths due to unintentional injuries declined overall, while homicide and suicide numbers increased. Child abuse homicides typically increase when overall homicides rates increase. Data from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will be released in conjunction with Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina on September 20, 2006. • There were 61 deaths due to firearms in 2005, up from 39 in 2004. "This alarming increase will make gun safety a Task Force focus in the next year", said Berrien The NC Child Fatality Task Force also released the number of child deaths for each county by cause and age. Because the numbers for each county are relatively small, rates are not computed. State and county data can be found online at www.ncchild.or2leontent/view/280/165/ In 1991, the NC General Assembly adopted a child fatality prevention initiative. This initiative established the NC Child Fatality Task Force, which was charged with studying the incidence and causes of child deaths. Since its inception, the NC Child Fatality Task Force has made numerous recommendations for changes to legislation, rules, and policies likely to prevent deaths and promote the well-being of children.

New Hanover County Child Fatality Team 2005 Summary The New Hanover County Child Fatality Prevention Team (NHC CFPT) is a group comprised of community representatives from-diverse-agencies and disciplines. Our team currently has 1,7 members which are either appointed by their agency board, per the state addendum, or are appointed by New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. Our team currently has two openings. The mission of the NHC CFPT is to promote the development of a community wide approach to understanding the causes of. childhood fatalities, identify the deficiencies in public agencies to deliver services to children and families, and to make and carry out recommendations for change in system delivery to prevent future childhood deaths. The NHC CFPT meets on a quarterly basis with meetings in February, May, August and November. Several team members attended 2 state fatality reviews in 2005. A state review is conducted when the family is involved with DSS at the time of death. The attendance this year has averaged 7 community members and 2 Health Department staff members per meeting. The team reviews deaths that occurred in the previous year. During 2005 the team reviewed the deaths of 17 children. Of these deaths 5 were due to extreme prematurity and complications associated with this. Four deaths were due to congenital abnormalities. Two children died due to existing medical conditions. Two deaths involved motor vehicles. There were two child deaths due to SIDS and one shooting victim. No trends were identified this year in New Hanover County. The New Hanover Child Fatality Prevention Team receives funds annually from DHHS via the • Child Health Contract Addendum. This year funds were used to purchase car seats and combination smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors. These were distributed to low income families. The New Hanover County Health Department Health Promotion Team educated the families receiving the car seats on the child safety seat laws and proper use and installation. The Wilmington Fire Department distributes the smoke detectors/carbon monoxide detectors with referrals from the Health Department. A small amount was spent on refreshments. This money was in the fiscal budget `04-`05. The New Hanover County Child Fatality Team continues to work to improve participation of its members and invite persons related to investigations of child deaths to be a part of the review process. Attendance has been steady and members share agency information with the coordinator prior to the reviews when they are unable to attend. The team has worked diligently to obtain and review needed records and work collaboratively in the process of the actual review of each child death.
