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:
This rule is required by Subsection 26-46-102(2). The statute requires the Department of Health to make rules governing administration of the Health Care Workforce Financial Assistance Program that address: application procedures; eligibility criteria; selection criteria; service conditions including service in an underserved area; penalties for failure to comply; criteria for modifying or waiving services conditions or penalties due to extreme hardship or other causes; and administration of contracts predating the statutes. This rule was enacted to meet those requirements.
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 since the last five-year review of this rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule should be continued because it has met the requirements of its authorizing statute, funding for the program allocated by the Legislature is ongoing, and the rule has facilitated a well-administered program that meets the statutory purposes of Subsection 26-46-102(1) -- providing professional education scholarships and loan repayment assistance to health care professionals and geriatric professionals who locate or continue to practice in underserved areas.
