NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE
DAR File No.: 32757
Filed: 06/25/2009, 06:53
Received by: NL
RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
As a result of S.B. 211 and H.B. 327 which were passed during the 2009 Legislative Session, amendments to this rule are being proposed after review by the Division and Uniform Building Code Commission. (DAR NOTE: S.B. 211 (2009) is found at Chapter 339, Laws of Utah 2009, and was effective 05/12/2009. H.B. 327 (2009) is found at Chapter 129, Laws of Utah 2009, and was effective 05/12/2009.)
Summary of the rule or change:
Various statutory citation references have been updated throughout the rule. In Section R156-56-102, deleted definition for "different permit number" and in Subsection R156-56-102(5), deleted the reference to a "12 digit" standardized building permit number. In Section R156-56-401, the proposed amendment is needed due to changes in the statute made by H.B. 327 which eliminated the need for the three letter designation from the building permit number and eliminated the added details going into the building permit number. The building permit number is now simply determined by the local compliance agency. Section R156-56-702 is being deleted in its entirety as a result of S.B. 211. The provision for override of the Division was taken out of the governing statute (Title 58, Chapter 56).
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
Sections 58-56-1 and 58-56-19, and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a), 58-1-202(1)(a), and 58-56-6(2)(a)
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
The Division will incur minimal costs of approximately $100 to print the rule and distribute it once the proposed amendments are made effective. Any costs incurred will be absorbed in the Division's current budget. Any additional costs or savings to be incurred by the Division were covered in the fiscal notes which were completed for S.B. 211 and H.B. 327.
local governments:
Any cost or saving impact to local governments comes as a result of the changes to the statute under S.B. 211 and H.B. 327. The fiscal notes prepared by the Division in response to S.B. 211 and H.B. 327 should be reviewed for information regarding the legislative bill's cost and saving impact and in turn any anticipated costs or savings with respect to this clarifying rule amendment filing.
small businesses and persons other than businesses:
Any cost or saving impact to small businesses and other persons comes as a result of the changes to the statute under S.B. 211 and H.B. 327. The fiscal notes prepared by the Division in response to S.B. 211 and H.B. 327 should be reviewed for information regarding the legislative bill's cost and saving impact and in turn any anticipated costs or savings with respect to this clarifying rule amendment filing.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
Any cost or saving impact to small businesses and other persons comes as a result of the changes to the statute under S.B. 211 and H.B. 327. The fiscal notes prepared by the Division in response to S.B. 211 and H.B. 327 should be reviewed for information regarding the legislative bill's cost and saving impact and in turn any anticipated costs or savings with respect to this clarifying rule amendment filing.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
This filing conforms the existing rule to recent statutory amendments. No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director
