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:
Title 58, Chapter 31c, provides for the Nurse Licensure Compact. Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a) provides that the Division may adopt and enforce rules to administer Title 58. Section 58-31c-103 provides that the Division may adopt rules necessary to implement the provisions of the chapter. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 31c, with respect to the Nurse Licensure Compact.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
Since the rule was last reviewed in September 2009, it has been amended one time in August 2010. No written comments have been received by the Division with respect to this 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 should be continued as it provides a uniform manner in which implementation of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) must be done. The rule adheres to the model compact rule developed by the Nurse Licensure Compact administrators and allows Utah to continue to participate in the Nurse Licensure Compact.
