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:

Section 62A-15-105 establishes the Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Board. The Board is given authority to establish necessary rules.

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

No public comments have been received by the Division since the last time this rule was reviewed.

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

In Section 62A-15-103, The Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health is mandated to provide education for persons who are convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a controlled substance. This rule sets forth the policies and procedures for certifying organizations and trainers who provide education to a person convicted of driving under the influence, recertification requirements for trainers, and corrective action proceedings. This rule needs to continue to assure quality implementation of this statutory mandate. The education course offered through this rule is currently being reviewed, and depending on the outcome of that review, future amendments may be forthcoming. During this review, it was noted that several of the Code references cited in Sections R532-22-1 and R523-22-2 need to be updated so a nonsubstantive change will follow in the near future.
