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:

Section 62A-2-101 et seq. and Section 62A-2-106 authorize the Office of Licensing to make rules to establish basic standards for licensees. In addition, it states that child foster care services shall be licensed to establish the minimum requirements for foster homes and proctor homes for children in the custody of the Human Services Department.

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

In the past five years, the Office of Licensing has received no written comments on this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The statutory provisions of Section 62A-2-101 et seq. dealing with child foster care still exist and the rule should be continued because of the ongoing need for minimum standards in foster homes. Upon review of this rule, the division recognizes that there are some updates for citations and typographical errors that need to be corrected.
