EXECUTIVE DOCUMENTS Under authority granted by the Utah Constitution and various federal and state statutes, the Governor periodically issues Executive Documents, which can be categorized as either Executive Orders, Proclamations, and Declarations. Executive Orders set policy for the executive branch; create boards and commissions; provide for the transfer of authority; or otherwise interpret, implement, or give administrative effect to a provision of the Constitution, state law or executive policy. Proclamations call special or extraordinary legislative sessions; designate classes of cities; publish states-of-emergency; promulgate other official formal public announcements or functions; or publicly avow or cause certain matters of state government to be made generally known. Declarations designate special days, weeks or other time periods; call attention to or recognize people, groups, organizations, functions, or similar actions having a public purpose; or invoke specific legislative purposes (such as the declaration of an agricultural disaster). The Governor's Office staff files Executive Documents that have legal effect with the Division of Administrative Rules for publication and distribution.

NOTICES OF PROPOSED RULES A state agency may file a Proposed Rule when it determines the need for a substantive change to an existing rule. With a Notice of Proposed Rule, an agency may create a new rule, amend an existing rule, repeal an existing rule, or repeal an existing rule and reenact a new rule. Filings received between April 16, 2016, 12:00 a.m., and May 2, 2016, 11:59 p.m. are summarized in this, the May 15, 2016, issue of the Utah State Digest. The law requires that an agency accept public comment on Proposed Rules published in the May 15, 2016, issue of the Utah State Bulletin until at least June 14, 2016 (the Bulletin is the parent publication of the Digest). The agency may accept comment beyond this date and will indicate the last day the agency will accept comment in the rule information published below. The agency may also hold public hearings. Additionally, citizens or organizations may request the agency hold a hearing on a specific Proposed Rule. Section 63G-3-302 requires that a hearing request be received by the agency proposing the rule "in writing not more than 15 days after the publication date of the proposed rule." From the end of the public comment period through September 12, 2016, the agency may notify the Division of Administrative Rules that it wants to make the Proposed Rule effective. The agency sets the effective date. The date may be no fewer than seven calendar days after the close of the public comment period nor more than 120 days after the publication date in the Utah State Bulletin. Alternatively, the agency may file a Change in Proposed Rule in response to comments received. If the Division of Administrative Rules does not receive a Notice of Effective Date or a Change in Proposed Rule, the Proposed Rule lapses. The public, interest groups, and governmental agencies are invited to review and comment on the Proposed Rules listed below. Comment may be directed to the contact person identified with each rule. Proposed Rules are governed by Section 63G-3-301, Rule R15-2, and Sections R15-4-3, R15-4-4, R15-4-5a, R15-4-9, and R15-4-10. AGRICULTURE AND FOOD HORSE RACING COMMISSION (UTAH) No. 40366 (Amendment): R52-7-5. Occupation Licensing and Registration. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The rule changes allow for the licenses to be issued for up to a three-year period. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The change does not have an impact on how the state manages horse racing. There will be no impact on the state budget. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Local governments have no role in the enforcement of this rule. As such, there will be no costs or saving to their budget. - SMALL BUSINESSES: This rule does not change the registration fee required for each individual year. While there will be an initial increase in cost to purchase a three-year license, this cost will be balanced by not having to purchase a license for the following two years. However, this is a burden chosen by the individual or the racing group because they continue to have the option to purchase a singe-year license. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The rule again will have a limited impact on the individuals. They will have the opportunity to choose between a one- or three-year license in their chosen area. While there will be an increased burden on that year's cost of a license, that cost will be evened out by not having to purchase a license again for three years. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no new compliance costs. The price of the license remains the same. The proposed change does not affect the cost of the license for each year. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The proposed rule changes are a result of a request from those involved in the horse racing industry. The cost of the license per year remains the same. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY PRESENT THEIR VIEWS ON THIS RULE BY SUBMITTING WRITTEN COMMENTS NO LATER THAN AT 5:00 PM ON 06/14/2016 DIRECT QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RULE TO: - Kathleen Mathews by phone at 801-538-7103, by FAX at 801-538-7126, or by Internet E-mail at kmathews@utah.gov - Scott Ericson by phone at 801-538-7102, by FAX at 801-538-7126, or by Internet E-mail at sericson@utah.gov THIS RULE MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE ON: 06/21/2016 FOR THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DOCUMENT, VISIT: http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/bulletin/2016/20160515/40366.htm MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT No. 40367 (Repeal): R65-2. Utah Cherry Marketing Order. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed change is a complete repeal of the rule. There will no longer be a Marketing Order for Sweet Cherries when the rule takes effect. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The repeal of this rule will disband the Sweet Cherry Marketing Board. As a result, the state will save on travel and per diem costs for the five-member board. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Local governments have no role in the administration or enforcement of this rule. Local governments will not be affected by the repeal of this rule. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Cherry producers will no longer be obligated to pay $25 per ton for fresh cherries and $2 per ton for brine and frozen cherries. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Cherry producers will no longer be obligated to pay $25 per ton for fresh cherries and $2 per ton for brine and frozen cherries. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: This is a repeal of the rule. There will be no cost to the producers as they will no longer be bound by the marketing order. The repeal of this rule will actually lead to a savings for the small businesses, businesses, and the state. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The repeal of this rule does away with the Utah Cherry Marketing Order. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY PRESENT THEIR VIEWS ON THIS RULE BY SUBMITTING WRITTEN COMMENTS NO LATER THAN AT 5:00 PM ON 06/14/2016 DIRECT QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RULE TO: - Kathleen Mathews by phone at 801-538-7103, by FAX at 801-538-7126, or by Internet E-mail at kmathews@utah.gov - Scott Ericson by phone at 801-538-7102, by FAX at 801-538-7126, or by Internet E-mail at sericson@utah.gov - Wayne Bradshaw by phone at 801-538-7108, or by Internet E-mail at waynebradshaw@utah.gov THIS RULE MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE ON: 06/21/2016 FOR THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DOCUMENT, VISIT: http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/bulletin/2016/20160515/40367.htm No. 40369 (Amendment): R65-8-2. Establishment of a Forum. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The rule change allows the Utah Jr. Livestock Show association to charge an annual membership fee of up to $50 a year. The association currently can charge up to $25 a year to cover the costs of the annual meeting, food for the meeting, mail costs, and any other minor expenses. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The changes made to this rule will have no affect on the state budget. The increase in fees applies only to the members of the association. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Local governments are not affected by this rule because they have no jurisdiction over the Junior Livestock Show. The proposed changes to this rule will have no affect on local governments. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Small businesses are not affected because the fee increase is only to members of the Junior Livestock Show in which there are no small businesses. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The membership dues are paid by each member association and cannot be derived from funds provided through state appropriations. The membership dues generally come from fees, dues, or fundraising associated with each specific livestock show. Depending on how the association plans on paying, the higher fee will result in an impact to the participants of the show. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: The new compliance costs will be up to $50. This will require an increase of the fees, dues, or fundraising efforts the associations currently have in place to cover the additional costs. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The increasing of the fees is a request by the Utah Junior Livestock Show Association. The request came through a unanimous resolution in the 2015 annual meeting. The rule change is coming at their request. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY PRESENT THEIR VIEWS ON THIS RULE BY SUBMITTING WRITTEN COMMENTS NO LATER THAN AT 5:00 PM ON 06/14/2016 DIRECT QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS RULE TO: - Kathleen Mathews by phone at 801-538-7103, by FAX at 801-538-7126, or by Internet E-mail at kmathews@utah.gov - Scott Ericson by phone at 801-538-7102, by FAX at 801-538-7126, or by Internet E-mail at sericson@utah.gov - Wayne Bradshaw by phone at 801-538-7108, or by Internet E-mail at waynebradshaw@utah.gov THIS RULE MAY BECOME EFFECTIVE ON: 06/21/2016 FOR THE FULL TEXT OF THIS DOCUMENT, VISIT: http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/bulletin/2016/20160515/40369.htm PLANT INDUSTRY No. 40365 (Repeal): R68-12. Quarantine Pertaining to Mint Wilt. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed change is a complete repeal of the rule. There will no longer be a quarantine for mint coming or leaving the state. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There will not be a cost or savings to the state. The state only has three mint growers, and the Department appoints the field supervisors who conduct the inspection. The producer pays for the inspection, so the state doesn't allocate money to subsidize the program. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There is no affect on local government because local governments have no role in the enforcement of this rule. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The three mint growers in the state will receive a savings due to the revocation of the rule. The businesses will no longer have to expend the $2 per acre plus $10 application fee for root stock inspections. Further, due to the repeal of the rule, the businesses will no longer have to quarantine an entire field of crops, thus suffering tremendous financial losses, depending on the size of the field. Instead, the businesses will only have to remove the affected portions. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: As was stated previously, there will be a cost savings for the individuals involved in the growing of mint in the state due to the decrease in inspections costs and the savings due to not having to quarantine the whole crop but rather portions of the crop. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There will be no additional cost to affected persons. This is a repeal of the quarantine. As a result, there will be fewer restrictions on the people affected. This will lead to a cost savings. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: Inspections are not found to be effective. The cost of inspections does not bring in additional revenue with only three mint growers in the state. The removal of this rule eliminates the potential for catastrophic financial loss to industry that may result from non-aggressive strains of Verticillium Dahlia. Removal of the mint wilt quarantine will no longer require entire field crop loss that has no recoupment of financial loss when minimal damage occurs. This will allow industry to remove only what is affected by disease rather than the entire crop.

Butter. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed changes to the rule are made to update the current version of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that is incorporated by reference. The changes are made to make it easier for individuals to find the criteria for grading butter. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There are no costs or savings associated with the rule change. The rule changes have no additional requirements attached. The changes are made for clarification and to make it easier for those who are graded to find the grading criteria. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There are no requirements made on local government in the changes to the rule. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The changes add no new requirements on those businesses affected by the rule. There will be neither a cost nor a savings to those affected by the rule. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The changes to the rule are to align the rule with the federal code that is adopted. There are no additional requirements made on individuals in this rule. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs to any person affected by the changes to the rule. The rule changes are to make it easier for individuals to find the grading criteria. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The changes to this rule do not require additional measures from those affected. It does make it easier for individuals to find the standards that are set for the grading of butter. It will have no fiscal impact on businesses or individuals.

Grade A Condensed and Dry Milk Products and Condensed and Dry Whey. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed changes to the rule are made to update to the current version of the Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance, January 1, 2013. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There are no costs or savings associated with the rule changes. The rule changes have no additional requirements attached. The changes are made for clarification and to make it easier for those who engage in the covered practices to find the regulations. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There are no requirements made on local government in the changes to the rule. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The changes add no new requirements on those businesses affected by the rule. There will be neither a cost nor a savings to those affected by the rule. The changes to the rule are meant to make it easier to locate the regulations governing the industry. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The changes add no new requirements on those businesses affected by the rule.

COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs to any person affected by the changes to the rule. The rule changes are to make it easier for individuals to find the regulations. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The changes to this rule do not require additional measures from those affected. It does make it easier for individuals to find regulations by correctly citing Grade "A" Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. It will have no fiscal impacts on businesses or individuals.

Utah Inland Shellfish Safety Program. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: The proposed changes would correct the erroneous listing of the name of the ordinances. Further, it incorporates by reference the latest published version of the model ordinance, January 1, 2013, published by the Food and Drug Administration. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: There will be no affect on the state budget related to these changes. The department has been doing these inspections since 2007. The changes to rule will not have an affect on the inspection. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: There will be no cost or savings to local governments. There are no requirements made on local governments in the changes to the rule. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The rule governs small businesses in the state that package shellfish; however, the proposed changes to the rules will not have a cost or a savings to the businesses. The changes made to the rule are updating the rules to the current version being used on a nationwide level. These businesses are already using the most current version in order to ship out of the state. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: The proposed changes do not affect persons other than those engaged in the business of packaging and shipping molluscan shellfish. As with small businesses, these changes do not affect the practices which are already standard in the industry. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: There are no compliance costs associated with these proposed rule changes. The rules are a national standard that industry is already following. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: The proposed rules will not have a fiscal impact on businesses because the standards adopted by the proposed changes are already industry standards. The proposed changes will make it easier for interested parties to find the correct standards with which they must be in compliance.

License Classifications - Scope of Practice. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: In Section R156-55a-301, in B100 and R100 - this change allows B100 and R100 contractors to install passive radon controls in new construction without immediate supervision by a person who holds a Radon mitigation certificate. However, the installation must still comply with the building codes requirements for passive radon controls. In Section R156-55a-301, in S354 - the change requires radon mitigation work to be performed under immediate supervision of a person who holds a radon mitigation certificate. This is the same supervision that is already required for active radon mitigation work when performed by the B100 and R100 contractors classifications. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The Division will incur minimal costs of approximately $75 to print and distribute the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective. Any costs incurred will be absorbed in the Division's current budget. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: The proposed amendments apply only to licensed contractors in classifications B100, R100, and S354 and applicants for licensure in those classifications. As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments. - SMALL BUSINESSES: The proposed amendments may result in some added new construction to building owners and B100 and R100 contractors who choose to voluntarily install passive radon controls on new construction. Since installation of passive radon controls is voluntary and not required on new construction by code, it is impossible to determine the cost that may be voluntarily incurred. These persons may choose to incur this voluntary expense because of savings that may result in the future. This change may increase cost for some S354 contractors who are not already having radon mitigation work performed under the immediate supervision of a certified radon person. It is impossible to determine how often this is occurring. Therefore, it is therefore impossible to determine the additional costs that may result. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: It is impossible, prior to new construction being completed, to determine if a building will ultimately have excessive levels of radon that may need mitigation work completed. As a result, the building codes do not require radon controls to be installed on new construction. However, passive radon control can be installed on new construction as a preventive measure with minor additional costs to the new construction. If these passive radon controls are not installed and it ultimately turns out that the building needs radon mitigation, the cost to the building owner for radon mitigation retrofitting could be substantially higher than if preventive measures were taken during initial construction. As the result of this rule change, more homeowners and their contractors may voluntarily choose to incur some additional up front costs of construction in order to save potentially more costly radon mitigation work later on. It is therefore impossible to determine the costs or savings that may result from this rule change but leaves the risk/reward analysis up to the homeowner and their contractors to decide. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: It is impossible, prior to new construction being completed, to determine if a building will ultimately have excessive levels of radon that may need mitigation work completed. As a result, the building codes do not require radon controls to be installed on new construction. However, passive radon control can be installed on new construction as a preventive measure with minor additional costs to the new construction. If these passive radon controls are not installed and it ultimately turns out that the building needs radon mitigation, the cost to the building owner for radon mitigation retrofitting could be substantially higher than if preventive measures were taken during initial construction. As the result of this rule change, more homeowners and their contractors may voluntarily choose to incur some additional up front costs of construction in order to save potentially more costly radon mitigation work later on. It is therefore impossible to determine the costs or savings that may result from this rule change but leaves the risk/reward analysis up to the homeowner and their contractors to decide. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: This rule change allows B100 and R100 contractors to install passive radon controls in new construction without the supervision of a person who holds a radon mitigation certificate. The rule change also requires radon mitigation work to be performed under the supervision of a person who holds a radon mitigation certificate. This rule change may impact contractors and building owners if building owners choose to install radon controls in new construction. However, such installation is not mandatory. Additionally, the change may impact contractors who are not already performing radon mitigation work under a certified person's supervision, and must now be so supervised.

Assessment. SUMMARY OF THE RULE OR CHANGE: In Subsection R414-401-3(2), every nursing facility is assessed at the uniform rate of $18.74 per patient day, which is an increase from the previous $18.32 per patient day assessment, based upon projected days. In Subsection R414-401-3(2), ICFs/ID are assessed at the uniform rate of $8.45 per patient day, which is a decrease from the previous $8.46 per patient day assessment, based upon projected days. These updates are based on estimates of patient days for SFY 2017 and the appropriation amounts. ANTICIPATED COST OR SAVINGS TO: - THE STATE BUDGET: The update to the assessment rates is anticipated to be budget neutral as it updates the collection rate based on projected days in SFY 2017 and the appropriation amount. - LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: Inasmuch as swing beds are variable, it is not possible to determine the cost or savings to local hospital and swing bed facilities. - SMALL BUSINESSES: Medicaid nursing facility providers will realize an increase in cost to non-Medicaid certified facilities as those facilities would be assessed at the higher amount and would not realize any payments from Medicaid. Inasmuch as patient days are variable, it is not possible to determine the increased cost that will be realized by these facilities. ICFs/ID will realize a decreased cost based upon the decrease in the assessment rate. Inasmuch as patient days are variable, it is not possible to determine the decreased cost that will be realized by these facilities. - PERSONS OTHER THAN SMALL BUSINESSES, BUSINESSES, OR LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES: Medicaid nursing facility providers will realize an increase in cost to non-Medicaid certified facilities as those facilities would be assessed at the higher amount and would not realize any payments from Medicaid. Inasmuch as patient days are variable, it is not possible to determine the increased cost that will be realized by these facilities. ICFs/ID will realize a decreased cost based upon the decrease in the assessment rate. Inasmuch as patient days are variable, it is not possible to determine the decreased cost that will be realized by these facilities. COMPLIANCE COSTS FOR AFFECTED PERSONS: Compliance costs include an increased collection of $0.76 per non-Medicare patient day from each nursing facility and a decreased cost of $0.01 per qualifying patient day for the ICF/ID providers. The assessment monies are used to draw down federal matching funds that result in higher reimbursement rates than would be possible without the assessment monies. All Medicaid certified nursing and swing bed facilities have benefited from this process. The amount of overall gain or loss depends on the number of Medicaid patients in the facility. In addition, there would be an increase in cost to non-Medicaid-certified facilities as those facilities would be assessed the higher amount and would not realize any payments from Medicaid. COMMENTS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEAD ON THE FISCAL IMPACT THE RULE MAY HAVE ON BUSINESSES: This amendment will fiscally impact business because it increases the assessment rates for some types of nursing facilities and decreases assessment rates for others. While the individual per patient day assessment changes are small, an exact calculation of the impact on business is not possible because the number of days for individual patients is widely variable.

DHRM has authority to write rules only to the extent allowed by the "Utah Personnel Management Act", Title 67, Chapter 19. This act limits the provisions of career service and these rules to employees of the executive branch of state government.

Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act. REASONED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RULE, INCLUDING REASONS WHY THE AGENCY DISAGREES WITH COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE RULE, IF ANY: As noted previously, DCP is required by statute to maintain rules of this nature. The "Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act" (CSPA) allows DCP to investigate and enforce Section 13-11-4 against those who engage in deceptive acts. Certain deceptive acts are delineated in the CSPA, but the rule allows DCP to further define specific violations of deceptive acts. DCP uses the statutorily mandated Rule R152-11 on a daily basis to help protect consumers from deceptive acts. Rule R152-11 is effective at targeting commonly complained of deceptive behavior. Without Rule R152-11, DCP would not be as effective at deterring deceptive acts or practices. This, along with the requirement to have substantive rules establishing deceptive acts or practices, justifies the continuance of this rule as implemented.

This rule provides important clarification to the public about registration under the TFPA. For instance, the rule clarifies that a registration may be denied if the registrant has committed violations of law set forth in Section 13-26-11. It also sets forth the circumstances under which the Division may make a demand on a bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or certificate of deposit. This rule continues to be of practical importance in administering the TFPA's registration and is used on a regular basis. Therefore, this rule should be continued.

Home-based Child Care Food Service. REASONED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RULE, INCLUDING REASONS WHY THE AGENCY DISAGREES WITH COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE RULE, IF ANY: Continuation of Rule R392-110 is recommended by the residential child care advisory committee. An entity serving food to the public is required to abide by Rule R392-100 "Food Service Sanitation", which is the food safety code used by the local health departments in Utah. Rule R430-50 "Residential Certificate Child Care" requires certified facilities to meet local health department food codes. Without Rule R392-110, these residential child care providers would be required to meet the full requirements of Rule R391-100, which normally apply to full service food establishments, meaning extensive plumbing and finished remodels of the homes. Rule R392-110 establishes a minimum set of standards that a home kitchen serving as a food preparation area for a residential child care can meet that also will protect the health and safety of the children.

REASONED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RULE, INCLUDING REASONS WHY THE AGENCY DISAGREES WITH COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE RULE, IF ANY: It is important that the department specify that insurers use the NAIC certificate of authority application, provided by the NAIC, to ensure uniform information from all insurers that apply. By having the same certificate of insurance application, the Department makes it easier and less time consuming for insurers to apply for a certificate of insurance from more than one state at a time.

Medicare Prescription Drug Plan. REASONED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE RULE, INCLUDING REASONS WHY THE AGENCY DISAGREES WITH COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE RULE, IF ANY: The rule establishes standards and requirements the PDP must meet before selling insurance. These standards are much the same as other insurers requiring the PDP to submit quarterly and annual statements, and they must comply with capital and surplus limits set within the rule and risk-based capital requirements set within the code. Linking these standards and requirements with the PDP allows the department to check their financial stability, giving greater assurance to consumers about the ability of the PDP to provide the benefits within their policy. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
