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:

This rule is adopted under the authority of Subsection 76-8-311.3(2), with the purpose of establishing secure areas on the Utah State Hospital campus and procedures for securing prohibited items and devices at the Utah State Hospital.

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

No comments have been received by the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (Division) over the past five years.

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

The Utah State Hospital is designated as a secure area with restrictions on firearms, ammunition, dangerous weapons, implements of escape, explosives, controlled substances, spirituous or fermented liquors, medicines, or poisons in any quantities. This rule should be continued to ensure that all areas on the Utah State Hospital's campus are designated secure from prohibited devices and that storage sites for such devices are established. In this review, the Division has found some nonsubstantive changes that need to be made and will be submitting a filing for those changes.
