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 63-11-17 authorizes the Board to establish use or access restrictions within state parks and to protect state parks and their natural and cultural resources from misuse or damage, including watersheds, plants, wildlife, and park amenities, and to govern the use of the state park system.

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 written comments have been received.

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

This rule restricts picnicking, by pointing out the areas where a picnic is not allowed, such as inside visitor centers, museums, and other park building that are not designated for this use and where prohibited and posted. This rule needs to continue as it controls the use and misuse of our museums and park buildings and what could happen if there wasn't a control in effect.
