Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 37224

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-15-105 provides the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) with rulemaking authority. Section 62A-15-704 requires DSAMH to establish rule for due process procedures for children prior to any invasive treatment from a local mental health authority. DSAMH is aware that Section 62A-15-606 is obsolete and is in the process of getting that fixed in the 2013 legislative general session.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
DSAMH and the Utah State Hospital have not received any written comments since the last five-year review of this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Continuation of this rule is necessary to inform patients and family members of the hospital's procedures for obtaining informed consent for medication treatment and for due process hearings when patients cannot or refuse to consent to medication treatment.
