RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
This rule is being repealed because its substantive elements, specifically data mandated for collection by the Health Data Committee, are incorporated into other Title R428 rules. Rule R428-20 can be repealed without any effect on work done by the committee or the Utah Department of Health. At its meeting on 11/08/2011, the Health Data Committee voted with unanimous consent to repeal Rule R428-20. Therefore, this rule is no longer needed.
Summary of the rule or change:
The rule is repealed in its entirety.
State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Title 26, Chapter 33a
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
Staff will no longer need to monitor rule text for Rule R428-20. Repeal of this rule will result in approximate savings to the state of $50 per year equaling about 1.5 hours staff time.
local governments:
Because the substantive provisions of this rule are incorporated into other Title R428 rules, no costs or savings to local governments should result from this filing.
small businesses:
Because the substantive provisions of this rule are incorporated into other Title R428 rules, no costs or savings to small businesses should result from this filing.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
Because the substantive provisions of this rule are incorporated into other Title R428 rules, no costs or savings to other persons should result from this filing.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
No compliance costs are expected with this repeal, which relieves affected persons from any obligations to comply with the rule.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
"Repeal of this unnecessary rule, whose necessary substantive provisions are already covered in other rules, should not have a negative fiscal impact on any business."
