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:

Title 58, Chapter 80a, provides for the voluntary certification of certified medical language interpreters. Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a) provides that the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (Division) may adopt and enforce rules to administer Title 58. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 80a, with respect to certified medical language interpreters.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Since this rule was last reviewed in 2014, the Division has received no written comments with respect to this 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 as it provides a mechanism to inform potential certification holders of the requirements for certification as allowed under statutory authority provided in Title 58, Chapter 80a, with respect to certified medical language interpreters. This rule should also be continued as it provides information to ensure applicants for certification are adequately trained and meet minimum certification requirements.
