RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Labor Commission proposes to repeal this and other Industrial Accident Division rules in order to consolidate, reorganize, and reenact the substance of those rules in a format that is more logical and user friendly.

Summary of the rule or change:

The existing Rule R612-6 will be repealed in its entirety. The substance of the existing rule will be reenacted in new Rule R612-400. (DAR NOTE: The proposed new Rule R612-400 is under DAR No. 37127 in this issue, January 15, 2013, of the Bulletin.)

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 34A-2-205

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

Because the substantive provisions of the existing rule will be reenacted as a new rule, repeal of the existing rule will not result in costs or savings to the state budget.

local governments:

Because the substantive provisions of the existing rule will be reenacted as a new rule, repeal of the existing rule will not result in costs or savings to the local government.

small businesses:

Because the substantive provisions of the existing rule will be reenacted as a new rule, repeal of the existing rule will not result in costs or savings to small businesses.

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

Because the substantive provisions of the existing rule will be reenacted as a new rule, repeal of the existing rule will not result in costs or savings to other affected persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The repeal of existing Rule R612-6 and reenactment of its substantive provision in Rule R612-400 will not change interested parties' rights or duties and will not impose any compliance costs on affected persons.

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

The repeal of existing Rule R612-6, coupled with reenactment of the rule's substantive provisions in the new Rule R612-400, is intended to make the rule easier to find and use by businesses and all other stakeholders in the workers' compensation system. The Commission does not anticipate that the improved organization of these rules will result in any fiscal impact on businesses.
