    RULE ANALYSIS

    Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

    The purpose of this amendment is to clarify the rule regarding working conditions.

    Summary of the rule or change:

    This amendment updates language relating to reasonable accommodation in Subsection R477-8-15(1).

    State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    These changes are administrative and do not directly impact state budgets.

    local governments:

    This rule only affects the executive branch of state government and will have no impact on local government.

    small businesses:

    This rule only affects the executive branch of state government and will have no impact on small businesses.

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

    This rule only affects the executive branch of state government and will have no impact on other persons. This rule has no financial impact on state employees.

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    There is no direct compliance cost for these amendments. This rule only affects the executive branch of state government and will have no impact on other persons. This rule has no financial impact on state employees.

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

    Rules published by the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) have no direct affect on businesses or any entity outside state government. DHRM has authority to write rules only to the extent allowed by the "Utah Personnel Management Act", Title 67, Chapter 19. This act limits the provisions of career service and these rules to employees of the executive branch of state government. The only possible impact may be a very slight, indirect affect if an agency passes costs or savings on to business through fees. However, it is anticipated that the minimal costs associated with these changes will be absorbed by agency budgets and will have no affect on business.
