To resolve ambiguity around the meaning of the word “requires” as it is used in the rulemaking act and H.B. 327, the Division amended Section R15-3-5. This amendment states:
For the purposes of Subsection 63-46a-4(11), the phrase “statutory provision that requires the rulemaking” means a state statutory provision that explicitly mandates rulemaking.
The amendment was published in the 03/15/2007, issue of the Utah State Bulletin, and was made effective on 04/30/2007, which is the day H.B. 327 went into effect. The effective rule is available online at http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r015/r015-003.htm. Questions regarding the rule may be directed to Ken Hansen, 801-538-3777.
