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:

Subsections 62A-7-104(8) and 62A-7-104(2)(b) state that the Division has the responsibility to adopt minimum standards for facilities and programs that serve delinquent youth. Subsection 62A-7-104(5) authorizes the Division to employ staff necessary to operate the facilities and programs. Rule R547-10 is the minimum standard established to exclude the hiring of persons with a criminal history to prevent this type of person from working with youth.

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 written comments have been received.

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

The rule is a minimum standard designed to prevent adults with a criminal history from working directly with youth offenders. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
