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 31A-2-404(2) authorizes the Title and Escrow Commission to write rules related to rating standards and methods, licensing requirements, continuing education requirements, examination procedures, and standards for conduct for a title licensee. This rule relates to standards of conduct in the recording of documents and insuring of properties.
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 department has received no written comments regarding this rule during the past five years.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Continuation of this rule was approved by the Title and Escrow Commission at its 01/09/2017 meeting. This rule is important to prohibit intentional delay, neglect, or refusal by insurers to record or deliver for recording documentation that is necessary to support policy insuring provisions, resulting in the false appearance of unmarketability, in the record only, of property that would otherwise be marketable. This practice is deemed to be an unfair or deceptive act or practice detrimental to free competition in the business of insurance and is injurious to the public. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
