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:

This rule is authorized by Section 62A-3-108. This rule explains the elements and weighting of the three funding formulas used by the Division of Aging and Adult Services to distribute funds to Utah's Area Agencies on Aging.

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

This rule went through a review and revision process at the request of the Area Agencies on Aging to resolve issues with the In-Home Services funding formula, which had not been updated in many years. During this process a number of public meetings were held and discussions were held regarding the formula. The Utah State Board on Aging and Adult Services voted to accept the agreed upon rule changes which went into effect on 06/30/2015.

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

This rule allows the Division to distribute funds to partner agencies based on fair and updated factors that were agreed to by all parties. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
