RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of the amendment is to clarify the language of Subsection R17-8-2(3). The statement that "The State Archives is the official custodian of all master microfilm" does not gain clarity by the addition of the phrase "of permanent and long term records". In fact, the Archives is the custodian of all microfilm masters regardless of the approved retention of the records. Therefore the qualifying phrase is deleted and the statement stands.

Summary of the rule or change:

The change is meant to clarify that the State Archives is the custodian of all master microfilm regardless of the retention of the original records.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Section 63A-12-101

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The state budget is not affected by this change. Because these are not substantive changes, are clarifying only, and because they had no original impact on the state budget, there will be no impact to the budget with these changes.

local governments:

Local government is not affected by the change. Because these are not substantive changes, are clarifying only, and because they had no original impact on local government, there will be no impact to local government with these changes.

small businesses:

Small business is not affected by the change. Because these are not substantive changes, are clarifying only, and because they had no original business impact, there will be no impact to business with these changes.

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

Persons are not affected by the change. Because these are not substantive changes, are clarifying only, and because they had no original impact on persons, there will be no impact to persons with these changes.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There are no compliance costs associated with this change. Because these are not substantive changes, are clarifying only, and because there were no compliance costs associated with the rule originally, there will be no impact or costs with these changes.

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

I have reviewed the changes and agree there is no impact to business.
