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:

This rule is authorized by Section 41-6a-310 and Subsection 53-1-108(1)(c) which allow the Commissioner of Public Safety to make rules about designating vehicles for part-time emergency use.

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

There have been no written comments received during and since the last five-year review of this 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:

When property or human life is in jeopardy, and the the prompt summoning of aid is essential to the preservation of human life or property, it justifies the operator of a vehicle to exercise driving privileges allowed to emergency vehicles. This rule specifies how vehicles can be designated as "authorized emergency vehicles" to aid in emergency situations, and needs to be continued.
