Filed: 04/21/2015 02:22:02 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Division and Security Services Licensing Board reviewed the rule and found changes that need to be made.

Summary of the rule or change:

Subsections R156-63b-502(2) and (3) reference a section of rule that was deleted in a January 2011 rule filing and as a result, those sections need to be deleted. In Section R156-63b-609, a rule change in 2014 deleted the requirement for a copy of a Utah specific driver license or Utah specific identification card for security personnel as a qualification for licensure. Therefore, operating standards in this section also need to reflect the change. References to Utah specific identification card and driver license are updated.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Section 58-63-101
• Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a)
• Subsection 58-1-202(1)(a)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The Division will incur minimal costs of approximately $75 to print and distribute the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective. Any costs incurred will be absorbed in the Division's current budget.

local governments:

The proposed amendments apply only to licensed armored car security officers and applicants for licensure in that classification. As a result, the proposed amendments do not apply to local governments.

small businesses:

The proposed amendments apply only to licensed armored car security officers and applicants for licensure in that classification. Licensees and applicants for licensure may work in a small business. An unquantifiable amount may be saved by potential employees receiving licenses quicker, due to not having to wait for the Utah specific identification card or driver license being issued.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

The proposed amendments apply only to licensed armored car security officers and applicants for licensure in that classification. The Division does not anticipate any costs or savings for other persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The proposed amendments apply only to licensed armored car security officers and applicants for licensure in that classification. An unquantifiable amount may be saved by an individual due to not having to wait for the Utah specific identification card or driver license.

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

As stated in the rule analysis, this filing deletes language that has been rendered obsolete by prior filings. No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated.
