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:

Subsection 58-55-301(2) provides for the licensure of various classifications of electricians. Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a) provides that the Division may adopt and enforce rules to administer Title 58. Subsection 58-55-201(2) provides that the Electricians Licensing Board's duties and responsibilities include recommending to the commission appropriate rules. Subsection 58-55-103(1)(b)(i) provides the Construction Services Commission shall with the concurrence of the division director make reasonable rules. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 55, with respect to electricians.

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 the rule was last reviewed in January 2002, it has been amended two times. However, 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 licensees of the requirements for licensure as allowed under statutory authority provided in Title 58, Chapter 55, with respect to electricians. The rule should also be continued as it provides information to ensure applicants for licensure are adequately trained and meet minimum licensure requirements.
