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:

Subsection 78A-12-203(7) gives the commission the authority to make rules "as necessary to administer the evaluation". Insuring that the evaluation process is free of bias and influence is an integral part of administering the evaluation. Thus, Rule R597-2, which ensures the unbiased action of the commission in administering the evaluation, is authorized by Subsection 78A-12-203(7).

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 have been received.

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