RULE ANALYSIS
Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:
This rule is being amended pursuant to Regional Advisory Council and Wildlife Board meetings conducted annually for taking public input and reviewing the Division of Wildlife Resources' rule pursuant to expo permits.
Summary of the rule or change:
These proposed revisions to this rule: 1) harmonize the contract application and renewal process to be consistent with State procurement code; 2) clarify that DWR has authority to terminate the contract in interest of wildlife conservation, management issues, or compliance with law; 3) specify that expo permit applicants would be eligible to receive only one expo permit each year, when multiple permits are drawn, the successful applicant would need to select a permit within two business days; 4) clarify that accrued interest on application handling fee revenue dedicated to funding projects be used for projects; 5) amend the 90-day allowance for the funds committed to a project to be remitted to 60 days from the date of invoice; 6) clarify that application handling fee revenue dedicated to funding projects must be expended on approved projects or transferred to the division by August 1, two years following collection; 7) amend requirements for redundant information to be submitted by the expo contractor; and 8) make technical corrections as needed.
Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Section 23-14-18
- Section 23-14-19
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
These amendments clarify already established procedures that will allow one or more groups to hold the exposition and add requirements to be included with the yearly audit. DWR has determined that these amendments do not create a cost or savings impact to the state budget or DWR�s budget, since the changes will not increase workload and can be carried out with the existing budget.
local governments:
Since these amendments only clarify current requirements for reporting in a policy that has already been established and followed, this should have little to no effect on local governments. This filing does not create any direct cost or savings impact to local governments because they are not directly affected by the rule. Nor are local governments indirectly impacted because this rule does not create a situation requiring services from local governments.
small businesses:
Since these amendments only clarify current requirements for reporting in a policy that has already been established and followed, this should have little to no effect on small businesses. This filing does not create any direct cost or savings impact to small businesses because they are not directly affected by this rule. Nor are small businesses indirectly impacted because this rule does not create a situation requiring services from small businesses.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
These amendments place in rule clarifications for the procedures for the revenue generated by the expo application fees, it does not have the potential to increase the cost to individuals. Therefore, these amendments do not have the potential to generate a cost or savings impact to other persons.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
DWR has determined that these amendments will not create additional costs for those participating in the wildlife exposition. Therefore, these rule amendments do not create a cost or savings impact to individuals.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
After conducting a thorough analysis, it was determined that these proposed rule changes will not result in a fiscal impact to businesses.
