RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act was amended in 2003 to provide that an agency's written statements that restrict the legal rights of a public class of persons or another agency must be in rule and go through the rulemaking process. Though rules for minors being allowed on the premises of state liquor stores have been enforced by internal department policy for several years, these policies are now being proposed for administrative rules to conform with the Rulemaking Act. (DAR NOTE: The Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act was amended by S.B. 30 (2003), which is found at UT L 2003 Ch 197, and was effective May 5, 2003.)

 

Summary of the rule or change:

This proposed rule defines the conditions under which a minor may be on the premises of a state liquor store.

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 31A-1-107

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

None--This proposed rule only regulates the conditions under which a minor may be on the premises of a state liquor store. Since minors may not purchase alcoholic beverages, regulating their presence in state liquor stores does not affect the state budget.

 

local governments:

None--This proposed rule regulates the conditions under which a minor may be on the premises of a state liquor store and does not affect local governments.

 

other persons:

None--This proposed rule regulates the conditions under which a minor may be on the premises of a state liquor store and does not fiscally affect other persons.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

None--There will be no compliance costs to affected persons, only restrictions for bringing their minor children into state liquor stores.

 

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This rule only restricts the presence of minors on the premises of state liquor stores and has no fiscal impact on businesses.
