RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Legislation passed during the 2007 Legislative Session required this change be made. The bill passed was S.B. 199. (DAR NOTE: S.B. 199 (2007) is found at Chapter 325, Laws of Utah 2007, and was effective 04/30/2007.)

Summary of the rule or change:

This change adds a fee of $25 for the required filing by a dual-licensed title licensee.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 31A-3-103

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

This change will add an addition $25 to the state's general fund for every filing done by a dual-licensed title licensee. There are currently only 62 title licensees that hold dual title licenses and/or real estate or mortgage lender licenses. These persons must file a form requesting approval each time they conduct title business. There is no way to estimate how many will file this form.

local governments:

This change deals solely with the department and its title insurance licensees. It should have no effect on local governments.

other persons:

This will add an additional $25 expense to a title licensee obtaining a dual license. As with most costs, these may be passed onto the consumer but the increase in premium or service charge would be minimal.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

This will add an additional $25 expense to a title licensee obtaining a dual license. As with most costs, these may be passed onto the consumer but the increase in premium or service charge would be minimal.

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

The changes to this rule will add an additional $25 expense to title licensees with a dual license. D. Kent Michie, Commissioner
