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 76-10-1234 states that the Division of Consumer Protection (Division) "shall make rules" to establish acceptable rating methods to be implemented by a content provider.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The Division is not aware of any written comments received since the last five-year review.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
As noted above, the Legislature stated that the Division �shall� make rules establishing acceptable rating methods. Rule R152-1a provides guidance regarding an accepted method for content providers to rate and restrict material that is harmful to minors. This rule creates a safe harbor for content providers if they wish to comply with the terms of Section 76-10-1233. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
