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:
Utah Constitution, Article IV, Section 10, sets forth the oath that must be taken by appointed board/commission members. This rule requires the oath to be given to board/commission members within the Department of Commerce. Subsection 53-13-101(12) defines the term "sworn" as it relates to a person who is required to take an oath of office, including the Department of Commerce board/commission members. Subsection 13-1-6(1) gives the Department of Commerce general rulemaking authority. Subsection 13-1-2(1)(b) requires the Department of Commerce to execute and administer state laws regulating business activities and occupations affecting the public interest. Board/commission members, who are required to take an oath of office, are key players in executing and administering those laws. Meetings with board/commission members are frequently conducted electronically. Section 52-4-103 sets forth definitions that are related to boards/commissions and their meetings. This rule reflects those definitions. Section 52-4-207 sets forth the requirements that apply generally to electronic meetings. This rule adopts those requirements as being applicable to electronic meeting conducted by the Department of Commerce.
