Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
- Subsection 58-1-202(1)(a)
- Subsection 58-1-106(1)(a)
- Subsection 58-55-308(1)(a)
- Section 58-55-101
- Subsection 58-55-102(39)(a)
Anticipated cost or savings to:
the state budget:
No state agencies shall be directly or indirectly affected by these rule changes because the proposed changes will not result in any significant increase or decrease in administrative costs, or revenue, compared to the currently anticipated costs and revenues. Additionally, there are no state government entities acting as businesses that will be significantly impacted by these changes. Accordingly, this rule is not expected to impact the state beyond a minimal cost to the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (Division) of approximately $75 to print and distribute the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective.
local governments:
Local governments will neither enforce nor be affected by the processes and requirements implemented by this rule, nor will local governments be indirectly impacted because none of the amendments create a situation requiring services from local governments. Therefore, no cost or savings to local governments are anticipated.
small businesses:
The changes that are grammatical or nonsubstantive are estimated to have no impact on small businesses. As for the substantive changes, the U.S. Census North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was searched and several relevant NAICS codes were identified including: 236115, 236116, 236117, 236118, 236210, 236220, 237120, 237990, 238111, 238112, 238121, 238122, 238131, 238132, 238141, 238142, 238151, 238152, 238161, 238162, 238171, 238172, 238191, 238211, 238212, 238221, 238222, 238311, 238312, 238321, 238322, 238331, 238332, 238341, 238342, 238351, 238352, 238381, 238392, 238911, 238912, 238991, 238992. The Department of Workforce Services' (DWS) Firm Find was referenced in compiling this information. DWS Firm Find indicates that a total of 216 medium and large businesses and 9,781 small businesses in Utah will be covered by these rule changes. Notwithstanding the number of small businesses, based on the NAICS codes, the analysis herein does not change. With respect to the substantive changes: first, small businesses may be impacted by the expanded or clarified scope of practice for the various classifications. These impacts are impossible to determine because the clarification and expansion of the applicable classifications does not necessarily result in a net increase or decrease of cost, or value to the licensee or applicant as there is no way to determine if they will actual practice in the expanded or clarified scope beyond their current work. Second, small businesses may be impacted by consolidated classification and expanded scope of practice which may reduce the number of potential fines for practicing beyond the scope of licensure. However, since it is impossible to determine whether the consolidation of classifications or expanded scope of practice will increase compliance with the unprofessional conduct provisions, there is no direct cost attributable to these changes. Future violations of unprofessional conduct cannot be quantified. Third, small businesses may be required to take the additional five-hour pre-licensure class as required by H.B. 187 (2019). An average of 11,000 contractors apply for licensure every year. This figure includes non-small and small businesses. It is estimated that the additional five-hour pre-licensure course will cost an additional $60 per applicant. It is estimated that the contractors needing the five-hour pre-licensure course are doing so to increase the scope of licensure and thus increase their economic benefit, opportunities, and productivity. The economic benefit from taking the extra five-hour pre-licensure course will be at least $60 or greater for the licensed contractors and especially when considering the benefit over the lifetime of the license. Of note, the fiscal note for H.B. 187 (2019) indicated that no cost increase was attributed to any individuals or businesses, including small businesses.
persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:
With respect to the changes that are grammatical or nonsubstantive, those changes will have no impact on other persons. With respect to the other changes, there is no perceivable impact of these rule amendments on other persons. Based on the fiscal note for H.B. 187 (2019), no cost increase was attributed to any individuals or businesses, including small businesses.
Compliance costs for affected persons:
With respect to the changes that are grammatical or nonsubstantive, those changes will have no impact on affected persons. With respect to other changes, there are no individual impacts based on these rule amendments because contractor licenses are issued only to small and non-small business entities, and not individuals. As a result, any individual impacts are reflected in the impacts to small and non-small businesses. Based on the fiscal note for H.B. 187 (2019), no cost increase was attributed to any individuals or businesses.
Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:
The purpose of this rule filing is to comply with the changes established by H.B. 187 (2019) and to make substantive and other technical changes as approved by the Construction Services Commission. In Section R156-55a-301, technical changes to the classification scope of practices, including elimination of superfluous language, clarifying scope of practice, and correction of cross-references.

In Section R156-55a-302a, eliminates the requirement for the trade exam for the B100, R100, or E100 classifications based on H.B. 187 (2019). In Section R156-55a-302b, clarifies the definition of "experience in the construction industry" pursuant to Subsection 58-55-302(1)(e)(ii) as more broad in scope than the definition of "construction trades" and clarifies that this experience includes paid experience regardless if as an owner, W-2, or 1099 individuals, and regardless of licensure.

As the U.S. Census North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) was searched, several relevant NAICS codes were identified including: 236115, 236116, 236117, 236118, 236210, 236220, 237120, 237990, 238111, 238112, 238121, 238122, 238131, 238132, 238141, 238142, 238151, 238152, 238161, 238162, 238171, 238172, 238191, 238211, 238212, 238221, 238222, 238311, 238312, 238321, 238322, 238331, 238332, 238341, 238342, 238351, 238352, 238381, 238392, 238911, 238912, 238991, 238992. The Department of Workforce Services' (DWS) Firm Find was referenced in compiling this information. DWS Firm Find indicates that there are a total of 216 medium and large businesses and 9,781 small businesses in Utah covered by these changes. This proposed rule change is not expected to have any significant fiscal impacts on large business revenues or expenditures. An average of 11,000 contractors apply for licensure every year. This figure includes non-small and small businesses. It is estimated that the additional 5-hour pre-licensure course will cost an additional $60 per applicant. It is estimated that the contractors needing the five-hour pre-licensure course are doing so to increase the scope of licensure and thus increase their economic benefit, opportunities, and productivity. The economic benefit from taking the extra five-hour pre-licensure course will be at least $60 or greater for the licensed contractors and especially when considering the benefit over the lifetime of the license. With respect to the other changes, they are not expected to have any significant fiscal impacts and the approximate fiscal impacts are impossible to determine because the changes do not necessarily result in a net increase or decrease of cost or value to the licensee, applicant, small business, or non-small business.
The head of the Department of Commerce, Francine Giani, has reviewed and approved this fiscal analysis.
