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 41-22-31 allows the Board to set standards for a safety program and issue safety certificates for successful completion of the program. Section 41-22-32 is primarily for the certification of safety instructors who teach off-highway vehicle (OHV) courses and lists their curriculum. Section 41-22-33 lists the fees for the safety and education courses and any penalties for non-payment. Rule R651-408 is an easily understood direction to the students taking the OHV education/safety course. It also lists the requirements to be taught by a safety Instructor and any reimbursement to volunteer certified OHV safety instructors. The rule defines and clarifies the statute in an easily understandable way for those who operate OHVs or teach OHV safety and education.

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:

Rule R651-408 lists the OHV curriculum standards for the use of OHVs in the state park system, including fees for OHV safety education courses to be taught to students; safety instructor requirements; and volunteer certified safety instructor reimbursement. To keep an orderly, defined curriculum for OHV vehicle education, and costs, this rule makes it easy to find the curriculum, and understand it. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
