RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The rule established the Utah Junior Livestock Show association. In this rule, the Association is given the authority to collect membership dues up to $25 an association.

Summary of the rule or change:

The rule change allows the Utah Jr. Livestock Show association to charge an annual membership fee of up to $50 a year. The association currently can charge up to $25 a year to cover the costs of the annual meeting, food for the meeting, mail costs, and any other minor expenses.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Subsection 4-2-2(i)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The changes made to this rule will have no affect on the state budget. The increase in fees applies only to the members of the association.

local governments:

Local governments are not affected by this rule because they have no jurisdiction over the Junior Livestock Show. The proposed changes to this rule will have no affect on local governments.

small businesses:

Small businesses are not affected because the fee increase is only to members of the Junior Livestock Show in which there are no small businesses.

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

The membership dues are paid by each member association and cannot be derived from funds provided through state appropriations. The membership dues generally come from fees, dues, or fundraising associated with each specific livestock show. Depending on how the association plans on paying, the higher fee will result in an impact to the participants of the show.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The new compliance costs will be up to $50. This will require an increase of the fees, dues, or fundraising efforts the associations currently have in place to cover the additional costs.

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

The increasing of the fees is a request by the Utah Junior Livestock Show Association. The request came through a unanimous resolution in the 2015 annual meeting. The rule change is coming at their request.
