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:

Subsection 63-11-17(1) states that the Division of Parks and Recreation has the duty to protect state parks and park property from misuse or damage and to preserve the peace within state parks. It also states at Subsection 63-11-17(2) that those employees who are POST-certified peace offices are designated as park rangers by the division director are law enforcement officers and have all powers of law enforcement officers in the state with the exception of the power to serve civil process. This rule is a directive to where further law enforcement definition regarding both officers and enforcement may be found, i.e., Title 77, Chapter 1a.

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:

It takes a section of the statute in Section 63-11-17.2 and ties it to other Titles, for example Title 77, and makes it easier for anyone searching for the information to find it all in one rule. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
