  • Section 31A-23a-302
  • Section 31A-25-208

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The previous change of 45 days to complete an incomplete submission was incorrect. It should have been 30 days, which is the current procedure being followed by the department.

local governments:

This rule and its change will have no fiscal impact on local governments since the rule deals solely with the relationship between the department and its licensees.

small businesses:

This rule change applies to individual and group licensees. Most of the group licensees are small employers. This will have no fiscal impact since it is already the procedure being followed by the department.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

This rule change applies to individual and group licensees. Most of the group licensees are small employers. This will have no fiscal impact since it is already the procedure being followed by the department.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

This rule change applies to individual and group licensees. It will have no fiscal impact since this procedure is already being followed by the department.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This rule will have no fiscal impact on businesses.
