RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to update and clarify broker experience rules, allow the division to determine whether an administrative proceeding will be conducted as a formal or informal proceeding, and clarify and correct other provisions of the rule.

Summary of the rule or change:

In Section R162-2f-202b, broker experience rules are updated and clarified. A new provision is added requiring that one-half of broker experience points derive from transactions located in the state of Utah. In Section R162-2f-401a, the rule is clarified that licensees may fill out those legal forms as provided for in state law. A separate rule is provided for the authorization of signatures in property management transactions. References citations are corrected. In Subsection R162-2f-401(i), references and citations are corrected. In Section R612-2f-407, the division may designate an administrative proceeding as either a formal or an informal proceeding. The amendment provides for an administrative hearing before the commission to appeal a division order denying or restricting a license. The division may determine that an application presents unusual circumstances and should be heard by the commission. The amendment clarifies that an adjudicative proceeding will be conducted pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act and Commerce Department rules. In Section R162-2f-501, broker experience tables are updated and clarified.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

  • Section 61-2f-103
  • Section 61-2f-203
  • Section 61-2f-306

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The division has the staff and budget in place to administer this proposed amendment. It is not expected that the proposed amendment will affect those resources or result in any additional cost or savings to the state budget.

local governments:

Local governments are not required to comply with or enforce the real estate licensing and practices rules. No fiscal impact to local government is expected from the proposed amendment.

small businesses:

The proposed amendment does not create new obligations for small business nor does it increase the cost associated with any existing obligation. No fiscal impact to small business is expected from the proposed amendment.

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

It is likely that some broker applicants will need more transactions in order to qualify for licensure as a principal broker. It is also likely that some persons will be impacted by the designation of an adjudicative proceeding as a formal proceeding.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The proposed rule amendment creates new obligations for some persons subject to the administrative rules. It is likely that some broker applicants will need more transactions in order to qualify for licensure as a principal broker. It is also likely that some persons will be impacted by the designation of an adjudicative proceeding as a formal proceeding. The fiscal impact to affected persons from the proposed amendment will vary and cannot be anticipated.

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

As stated in the rule analysis, this filing updates and clarifies broker experience rules, allows the Division of Real Estate to determine whether an administrative proceeding will be conducted formally or informally, and clarifies and corrects other rule provisions.
