Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 43783

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:
Section 31A-2-404 authorizes the Title and Escrow Commission to make rules to administer the provisions of the Insurance Code related to title insurance. Section 31A-23a-204 authorizes the Title and Escrow Commission to exempt attorneys with real estate experience from the three-year licensing requirement to license an agency title insurance producer.
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 Insurance 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:
This rule delegates the preliminary process of approving or denying requests from attorneys for exemption from the licensing requirement in Subsection 31A-23a-204(1)(a). This rule provides a process to apply for the exemption and to appeal a denial. Without this rule, the Title and Escrow Commission would be responsible for handling attorney exemptions, which would require the Commission having a budget to hire personnel to process the exemptions. This rule is also necessary to provide attorneys with a process for filing an exemption and appealing a denial. The Title and Escrow Commission directed that this rule should be continued by a vote of 4-0 at its 05/28/2019 meeting.
