RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose for this change is to move a provision from Section R994-406-205 to create Section R994-403-123 where it can be more easily found. (DAR NOTE: The proposed amendment to R994-406 is found under DAR No. 27928 and was published in the June 1, 2005, issue of the Bulletin.)

 

Summary of the rule or change:

The Department is in the process of rewriting all of its rules. This provision, regarding the obligation of Department employees to report information, was in Rule R994-406 which now deals with overpayments. There are sections in Rule R994-403 which concern the obligations of employees and employers and it seemed logical to move Section R994-406-205 to this rule under Section R994-403-123. It is believed this change will make the provision easier to find.

 

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 35A-1-104, and Subsections 35A-1-104(4) and 35A-4-502(1)(b)

 

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There will be no costs or savings to the state budget. This rule provision has always existed and is simply being moved from one rule to another rule.

 

local governments:

There will be no costs or savings to local governments as this proposed amendment simply moves a section of one rule and places it in another rule.

 

other persons:

It is not anticipated that there will be any costs or savings to any other persons by moving this section from one rule to another rule.

 

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The Department does not anticipate there will be any compliance costs associated with this proposed amendment because the Department is simply moving a section from one rule to another rule.

 

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

There will be no fiscal impact on businesses as a result of this rule change. This section concerns the obligations of Department employees to report information which may affect a claim and has always existed. Tani Downing, Executive Director
