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:

Section 35A-1-303 gives the Department authority to adopt rules governing adjudicative procedures. Section 35A-1-104 authorizes the Department to adopt rules. Section 35A-3-103 directs the Department to administer public assistance programs assigned to the Department. Section 35A-5 et seq. directs the Department to administer the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). This rule will be amended when the Department of Labor issues its regulations for the new Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

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 comments have been received in the last five years.

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

This rule is necessary to set eligibility standards for all WIA programs and establishing factors used in determining priority for services. The rule is also necessary to establish the requirement for an employment plan. The rule also sets the standards for providers seeking approval for funding for students. Without this rule and standards, training providers and clients would not know the requirements for these programs or that the training providers are meeting those standards. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
