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 5a, provides for the licensure of podiatric physicians. Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a) provides that the Division may adopt and enforce rules to administer Title 58. Subsection 58-5a-201(3) provides that the Podiatric Physician Board's duties and responsibilities shall be in accordance with Section 58-1-202. Subsection 58-1-202(1)(a) provides that one of the duties of each board is to recommend appropriate rules to the division director. This rule was enacted to clarify the provisions of Title 58, Chapter 5a, with respect to podiatric physicians.

 

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 March 1999, changes were made in 2001 to bring the Division into compliance with the Podiatric Medicine Licensing (PMLexis) examination requirements and to add a section regarding radiology course requirements for unlicensed assistants to take podiatric x-rays. No written comments have been received by the Division with respect to the above rule change or with respect to this rule since it was last reviewed in March 1999.

 

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 5a, with respect to podiatric physicians.
