Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 33686

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
Section 34A-5-104 gives the Commission jurisdiction over the subject of employment practices and discrimination made unlawful by Title 34A, Chapter 5. It also gives the Commission authority to adopt, publish, amend, and rescind rules, consistent with and for the enforcement of Title 34A, Chapter 5.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
No written comments have been received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
The Labor Commission continues to have jurisdiction over employment discrimination. This rule establishes that employment agencies share liability with the employer if the employment agency attempts to fill a position for an employer based on unlawful discriminatory criteria. It also establishes an exception for application forms asking for gender information, if the inquiry is made in good faith for a nondiscriminatory purpose and is based upon a bona fide occupational qualification. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
