The final state of a rule filing is for the rule to be codified. Codified law refers to the rules and regulations that have been collected, restated, and written down for the purpose of providing civil order to a society. 

'Current Rules' that have been codified (code) can be found by clicking the 'Code' menu button at the top of our website, or by clicking here: 

A list of administrative rule filings that have been made effective,  but not yet codified, is available online for review.

Utah legislative code 63G-3-305 requires that "Each agency shall review each of its rules within five years after the rule's original effective date or within five years after the filing of the last five-year review, whichever is later".
