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 35A-4-206 provides that services performed in agricultural labor are not covered by the Employment Security Act except under certain circumstances. This rule helps define what is considered agriculture so employers, employees, and Department of Workforce Services employees know how to determine which claimants are covered and which are not. Section 35A-1-104 authorizes the Department of Workforce Services to adopt rules. Subsection 35A-1-104(4) authorizes the Department to establish eligibility standards for its programs. Subsection 35A-4-502(1)(b) authorizes the Department to make rules necessary for the administration of the Employment Security Act.

 

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 have been received since the last five-year review.

 

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

The rule is necessary to determine which services are performed in "agriculture" and whether or not those services are covered under the Act. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
