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 36-11-404 requires the Lieutenant Governor to make rules that provide for the appointment of an administrative law judge to adjudicate alleged violations of this section and to impose penalties and procedures for license applications, disapprovals, suspensions, revocations, and reinstatements.

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

The Lieutenant Governor's Office has not received written comments in support or in opposition to this administrative rule.

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

Lobbyists must be licensed by the state, and this administrative rule provides for the procedure to obtain a license and penalties for failure to comply with procedures. This rule also outlines an adjudication process if a lobbyist allegedly violates regulated activities. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
