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 35A-4-308(1)(a) provides the department can require a bond when necessary to ensure compliance with the Employment Security Act.

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:

The rule explains to employers when a bond will be required. The rule provides examples of when the department will require bonds or has required bonds in the past. The rule is necessary to explain to employers that a bond will be required if they fail to pay contributions or if they are in an industry where the rate of past failures to comply is high. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
