RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This section establishes criteria and procedures for further application when an application for a license or permit has been denied as allowed by Subsection 32B-2-202(1)(c).

Summary of the rule or change:

Subsections 32B-5-203(2)(c) through (f) require the commission to consider the locality, person's ability to manage, nature of the operation and any other factor in deciding whether to grant a retail license. This rule establishes the criteria for reapplication based on the reason for denial and requires the applicant to submit a report evidencing a substantial change in circumstances that previously caused denial of the application.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Section 32B-2-202
  • Subsection 32B-5-203(2)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

This rule amendment requires an applicant to submit a report evidencing a substantial change in circumstances before the commission will consider further application. The burden is on the applicant and not the state. Therefore, there is no anticipated cost or savings to the state budget.

local governments:

This rule amendment requires an applicant to submit a report evidencing a substantial change in circumstances before the commission will consider further application. The burden is on the applicant and does not place further burden on local government. Therefore there is no anticipated cost or savings to local government.

small businesses:

Any fiscal impact will be limited to businesses that are denied a retail license. However, this rule does not change their ability to reapply; it only details what is required for the commission to consider further application.

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

This rule amendment requires an applicant to submit a report evidencing a substantial change in circumstances before the commission will consider further application. The burden is on the applicant and does not put additional burden on other persons. Therefore, there is no anticipated cost or savings to other persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

Applicants that were previously denied a license or permit are required to pay application fees when seeking further application. This rule requires that further application be accompanied by a report evidencing a change in circumstance. Compliance costs for creation of a report are negligible.

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

Any fiscal impact will be limited to businesses that are denied a retail license. However, this rule does not change their ability to reapply; it only details what is required for the commission to consider further application.
