To resolve ambiguity around the meaning of the word “requires” as it is used in the rulemaking act and H.B. 327, the Division has filed an amendment to Rule R15-3. This amendment states:
For the purposes of Subsection 63-46a-4(11), the phrase “statutory provision that requires the rulemaking” means a state statutory provision that explicitly mandates rulemaking.
The Division has filed this amendment for publication in the March 15, 2007, issue of the Utah State Bulletin. The Division will accept public comment from March 15 through April 16. The Division anticipates making the rule effective on April 30, which is the day H.B. 327 will go into effect if it is signed by the Governor.
Questions regarding the rule may be directed to Ken Hansen, 801-538-3777.
