RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Pursuant to Sections 63C-9-401, 63C-9-402, 63C-9-702, and 63C-9-703, Utah Code, this rule defines the role of the Capitol Preservation Board (CPB), Executive Director of the CPB and the Capitol Art Placement Subcommittee in regard to art and exhibits on the Capitol Hill complex including Capitol Hill Facilities and Capitol Hill Grounds. The reason for the repeal and reenactment of this rule is that the rule has been reorganized and simplified for easier use by the public. Also, the roles of the Executive Director, Arts Placement Subcommittee (Subcommittee) and the CPB have been clarified. In particular: 1) a display of art or an exhibit for more than six months is referred to as a "Long Term Event (Display)" and is considered an action regarding content placement, removal, or relocation under Section 63C-9-703 which requires action by the CPB after reviews by the Executive Director and the Subcommittee; and 2) an event involving art or an exhibit that is for more than 45 days but not longer than six months is referred to as a "Mid Term Event," and due to the short time period is not considered as a Section 63C-9-703 matter requiring CPB approval. Such Mid Term Events are processed and determined by the Executive Director and the Subcommittee. The CPB shall be advised of such decisions; and 3) an event involving art or an exhibit that is for 45 days or less is referred to as a "Short Term Event," and due to the short time period is not considered as a Section 63C-9-703 matter requiring Board or Subcommittee approval or recommendation, and shall be processed and determined by the Executive Director. All these recommendations and determinations shall be in accordance with the requirements of this rule.
