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 31c, is the Nurse Licensure Compact. Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a) provides that the Division may adopt and enforce rules to administer Title 58. Subsection 58-31c-103 provides that the Division may adopt rules necessary to implement the provisions of Chapter 31c. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 31c.

 

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Since this rule was originally enacted on January 1, 2000, it has been amended once in February 2000. In February 2000, the rule was amended to bring the rule into compliance with other states involved in the nurse licensure compact and to delete the requirement for an automatic cease and desist order when an individual is denied licensure in a new home state. The Division received no written comments with respect to the proposed amendments nor has it received any written comments with respect to this rule since it was originally enacted.

 

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 clarifies the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 31c, with respect to the Nurse Licensure Compact.
