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:

Subsection 62A-15-105(5) gives the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) the authority to develop administrative rules. DSAMH is aware of the flaw in Section 62A-15-606 and is in the process of getting that fixed.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

DSAMH and the Utah State Hospital (USH) have not received any written comments since the last five-year review of this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

Continuation of this rule is necessary to inform the public that the USH conducts background checks on all potential employees and volunteers to determine appropriateness for employment and/or volunteer services and to ensure safety for patients.
