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:

Section 62A-11-107 authorizes the Office of Recovery Services (ORS) to adopt, amend, and enforce rules as necessary to carry out its legal responsibilities listed in Title 62A, Chapter 11. Sections 62A-11-320.5, 62A-11-320.6, and 78B-12-210 require that support orders for dependent children be reviewed and, if in the best interest of the child, adjusted. Rule R527-231 provides additional clarification by listing specific situations where a review and adjustment will or will not be pursued by ORS, and at what point in the process the review may be terminated.

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 since the last five-year review.

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 be continued because the state and federal laws are still in effect which require review and adjustment processes for child support orders. In addition, this rule provides essential clarification and information relating to the procedures followed by ORS in implementing these legal requirements.
