DAR File No.: 35102

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This filing: 1) implements changes made by H.B. 115 and H.B. 260, passed by the Utah Legislature in the 2011 General Session; 2) updates the rule to codify current practices of Utah Interactive, the Division's designated agent for the State Construction Registry (SCR); 3) updates statutory citations; 4) revises rule numbering; and 5) makes other technical changes.

Summary of the rule or change:

In Section R156-38b-102, the definition of "private project" is added to reflect statutory changes. In Section R156-38b-103, updated statute citation reference. In Section R156-38b-402, existing language is modified to reflect recent technical improvements that have improved the SCR user account creation process. In Sections R156-38b-501 through R156-38b-504, the provisions rendered obsolete or redundant by current statute are removed. The scope of provisions is broadened to describe all SCR notices. Provisions are consolidated into basic principles for better application to an expanded number of SCR filings. Remaining provisions are renumbered and reorganized. In Section R156-38b-505, adds references to reflect current statute. In Subsection R156-38b-507(2), there is a minor wording change. Section R156-38b-508 is being deleted due to obsolete language.

In Section R156-38b-601, the subsection numbering is corrected. Subsection R156-38b-602(2) is deleted due to obsolete language.

In Subsection R156-38b-702(2)(c), the word "canceled" is replaced with "withdrawn".

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Subsection 38-1-30(3)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The Division anticipates no costs or savings to the state budget as a result of this proposed rule filing. Development and administrative costs are born by the designated agent, Utah Interactive, and shall be offset by SCR filing fees.

local governments:

The Division anticipates no costs or savings to local governments as a result of this proposed rule filing as the filing imposes no additional requirements for compliance.

small businesses:

Original contractors who wish to maintain lien rights on private projects will be required to file a Preliminary Notice and pay a $1.25 fee. Previously, an original contractor's lien rights were held inviolate by the SCR. This cost will translate into an additional $15 annually for an original contractor who wishes to maintain lien rights on 12 projects. Protecting lien rights on 100 jobs would cost the original contractor $125. Subcontractors and suppliers will pay $1.25 to file a Preliminary Notice rather than $1. This additional cost will translate into an additional $30 annually for a subcontractor who wishes to maintain lien rights on 120 projects. Protecting lien rights on 3,000 jobs would cost a supplier an additional $750. Office staff wages and other related overhead costs will decrease due to quicker filing procedures and decreased ambiguity. Wages and other related overhead costs for title companies will decrease due to increased reliability, decreased ambiguity, and the integration of tax parcel identification numbers. Construction lenders will be required to file a notice of construction loan after recording a mortgage or trust deed on a private project. This filing requires an $8 fee and would translate into a cost of $800 for a lender who files 100 notices and $48,000 for a lender who files 6,000 notices.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

Original contractors who wish to maintain lien rights on private projects will be required to file a Preliminary Notice and pay a $1.25 fee. Previously, an original contractor's lien rights were held inviolate by the SCR. This cost will translate into an additional $15 annually for an original contractor who wishes to maintain lien rights on 12 projects. Protecting lien rights on 100 jobs would cost the original contractor $125. Subcontractors and suppliers will pay $1.25 to file a Preliminary Notice rather than $1. This additional cost will translate into an additional $30 annually for a subcontractor who wishes to maintain lien rights on 120 projects. Protecting lien rights on 3,000 jobs would cost a supplier an additional $750. Office staff wages and other related overhead costs will decrease due to quicker filing procedures and decreased ambiguity. Wages and other related overhead costs for title companies will decrease due to increased reliability, decreased ambiguity, and the integration of tax parcel identification numbers. Construction lenders will be required to file a notice of construction loan after recording a mortgage or trust deed on a private project. This filing requires an $8 fee and would translate into a cost of $800 for a lender who files 100 notices and $48,000 for a lender who files 6,000 notices.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Original contractors who wish to maintain lien rights on private projects will be required to file a Preliminary Notice and pay a $1.25 fee. Previously, an original contractor's lien rights were held inviolate by the SCR. This cost will translate into an additional $15 annually for an original contractor who wishes to maintain lien rights on 12 projects. Protecting lien rights on 100 jobs would cost the original contractor $125. Subcontractors and suppliers will pay $1.25 to file a Preliminary Notice rather than $1. This additional cost will translate into an additional $30 annually for a subcontractor who wishes to maintain lien rights on 120 projects. Protecting lien rights on 3000 jobs would cost a supplier an additional $750. Office staff wages and other related overhead costs will decrease due to quicker filing procedures and decreased ambiguity. Wages and other related overhead costs for title companies will decrease due to increased reliability, decreased ambiguity, and the integration of tax parcel identification numbers. Construction lenders will be required to file a notice of construction loan after recording a mortgage or trust deed on a private project. This filing requires an $8 fee and would translate into a cost of $800 for a lender who files 100 notices and $48,000 for a lender who files 6,000 notices.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This rule filing implements recent statutory amendments, including setting fees required by statute, corrects statutory references, renumbers and reorganizes provisions and makes other technical amendments. No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated from these changes.
