RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This rule is required to note changes in the department's schedule of fees, which are approved by the legislature, and to establish fee deadlines. The changes noted in this rule were made by the 2008 Legislative Session in the appropriations bill, H.B. 2. (DAR NOTE: H.B. 2 (2008) is found at Chapter 392, Laws of Utah 2008, and was effective 07/01/2008.)

Summary of the rule or change:

Most of the changes to this rule are related to formatting and grammar. Section R590-102-9 was added to address professional employer organization fees (PEO) as required by H.B. 159 which was passed this year. Sections R590-102-12 and R590-102-13 were moved from Section R590-102-11 into their own sections. Section R590-102-16 addressed fingerprint fees and the annual assessment for the Title Recovery, Education, and Research Fund as required in H.B. 466 of the same name that was passed this year. Section R590-102-17 addressed fee for accessing public rate and form filings. (DAR NOTES: H.B. 159 (2008) is found at Chapter 318, Laws of Utah 2008, and was effective 05/05/2008. H.B. 466 (2008) is found at Chapter 220, Laws of Utah 2008, and was effective 07/01/2008.)

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 31A-3-103

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The changes to this rule will not require the department to add or reduce personnel, however, there should be minimal impact on the state budget.

local governments:

The changes to this rule will have no fiscal impact on local governments since it deals solely with the relationship between the department and its licensees.

small businesses and persons other than businesses:

This rule has no fiscal impact because it merely publishes the schedule of fees approved by the legislature in the appropriations bill, H.B. 2 (2008).

Compliance costs for affected persons:

This rule has no fiscal impact because it merely publishes the schedule of fees approved by the legislature in the appropriations bill, H.B. 2 (2008), passed this year.

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

This rule has no fiscal impact because it merely publishes the schedule of fees approved by the legislature in the appropriations bill, H.B. 2 (2008). D. Kent Michie, Commissioner
