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 31A-2-201 authorizes the commissioner to enact rules to implement Title 31A. The numbering, but not the text, of the following sections was changed in 2003 in H.B. 374. The references will be corrected in a nonsubstantive change after this filing is made. Sections 31A-23-207, 31A-26-207, and 31A-23-211 set licensing examination requirements for agents, adjusters, and title agents. Sections R590-118-4 and R590-118-5 of the rule implement the requirements of the above code sections permitting the commissioner to require and provide for the administration of license examinations. The rule also sets standards and procedures for licensing classes, and any exemptions to these requirements. (DAR NOTE: H.B. 374 (2003) is found at Chapter 298, Laws of Utah 2003, and was effective 05/05/2003.)

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 regarding this rule have been received in the past five years.

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 in force because it allows the public to be aware of licensing requirements, what is and is not acceptable for acknowledging examination score reports or designations in lieu of examinations, and informs them of the requirements to receive a license based on an examination.
