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:

The Utah State Parks Board is a rulemaking authority and under Section 79-4-502 it states that any violation of rules of the Board of Parks and Recreation is an infraction.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments were received during and since the last five-year review from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule establishes that offenses against capital improvements, and natural and cultural resources will normally be handled through Utah Criminal Code. It addresses such things as trespass, tossing, throwing or rolling of rock and other materials within state parks, as well as collecting or cutting firewood. It prohibits use of glass containers in posted areas such as beaches and states that metal detecting is prohibited without a permit. This rule protects park property and resources as well as park visitors. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
