Filed: 05/21/2012 09:34:34 AM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This rule has to be repealed to be consistent to changes in Title 4, Chapter 31, that were enacted in the 2012 legislative general session with the passage of H.B. 505 that disallowed the feeding of garbage and plate waste to swine.

Summary of the rule or change:

This rule is repealed in its entirety.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 4-31-112

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The repeal of this rule will not affect state budget as there have been no garbage feeders licensed by the State of Utah for some time.

local governments:

This rule did not affect local governments and the repeal of the rule will not affect these entities.

small businesses:

The repeal of this rule will not affect small businesses as there were no garbage feeders licensed with the State of Utah for a number of years.

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

The repeal of this rule will not affect other entities as there has been no garbage feeders licensed by the State of Utah for some time.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

No compliance cost will be affected with the repeal of this rule as there has been no garbage feeders licensed with the State of Utah for a number of years.

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

The repeal of Rule R58-16 is needed as result of passage of H.B. 505 during the 2012 legislative session that no longer allows the feeding of garbage and plate waste to swine.
