DAR File No.: 35829
Filed: 02/02/2012 03:07:59 PMNOTICE 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 67, Chapter 16, Utah Ethics Act, requires employees to notify management of potential conflicts in interest with employment with the State. Section 67-19-19 governs political activity of certain classes of state employees. The Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) implements these requirements for the executive branch of state government via rulemaking authority granted by Section 67-19-6 which contains a general grant of rulemaking authority to DHRM to govern the human resource management system.
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 written comments from outside of DHRM were received concerning this rule during the five-year period.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule contains important provisions governing general employee behavior on the job including conflicts of interest and the acceptable use of state resources. It also deals with provisions in the law governing employee behavior off the job such as political activity, second jobs, and social media. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
