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 enacted under Subsections 67-1a-2(1)(d) through (f) and Sections 67-1a-7 and 67-1a-8 to define how the state will manage the use and application of the Great Seal and to define criteria for its authorized application. The rule specifies criminal prosecution under Section 76-6-501 for forgeries of the Great Seal.

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

A request was received from the Capitol Preservation Board to amend the rule so that articles sold in the Utah State Capitol gift shop may feature replicas of the Great Seal. The requested amendment became effective 11/21/2007.

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

The rule should continue so that state officials and agencies may understand their permitted uses of the Great Seal and so that the general public may understand the permitted and prohibited uses of the Great Seal.
