Section 34A-5-104 gives the Commission jurisdiction over the subject of employment practices and discrimination made unlawful by Title 34A, Chapter 5. It also gives the Commission authority to adopt, publish, amend, and rescind rules, consistent with and for the enforcement of Title 34A, Chapter 5.

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

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

The Labor Commission continues to have jurisdiction over discrimination in employment. This rule establishes that any contractor entering into a contract with the State of Utah and/or its agencies must not discriminate and must place a clause into the contract and any subcontracts to that effect. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
