NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Sections 72-9-601, 72-9-602, and 72-9-604 require the Department to perform acts that it can only accomplish through the promulgation of administrative rules. Subsection 72-9-603(7) requires the Department to promulgate rules that regulate tow truck motor carriers operating in Utah. Sections 53-1-106 and 41-6a-1405 authorize Utah law enforcement authorities to perform acts related to the the requirements of Section 72-9-603.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The Department has not received any written comment during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The Utah statutes that require the Department to regulate tow truck motor carriers operating in Utah which are accomplished through the existence of Rule R909-19 are still in effect. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
