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:
Rule R384-201 is authorized under Sections 26-1-5 and 26-10-5, and Subsection 53A-11-203(8)(a) (recodified to Section 53G-9-404). Section 26-1-5 gives the Department of Health (Department) rulemaking authority to carry out the provisions of Title 26, and Section 26-10-5 charges the Department to develop a plan for school health services, and to cooperate with the State Board of Education in developing the plan to coordinate activities between these agencies. The plan provides for delivery of health services in schools. Subsection 53A-11-203(8)(a) (recodified to Section 53G-9-404) specifically charges the Department with creating rules, standards, and procedures for vision screening in schools.
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 either in favor or in opposition to Rule R384-201. The Division of Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind, in conjunction with the Department are currently working on updating this rule since many references and requirements are out-of-date. This will include updating the authorizing statutes in this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Continuation of Rule R384-201 is recommended as it is required by statute and creates a uniform standard for vision screening students in Utah public schools.
