    RULE ANALYSIS

    Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

    The Division has been evaluating the need for each profession's law/rule examination and has determined that the law/rule examination for applicants for certification as an alternative dispute resolution provider (ADRP) can be deleted with no negative impact on the profession.

     

    Summary of the rule or change:

    In Section R156-39a-103, updated statutory citation. In Section R156-39a-302c, deleted reference to ADRP Utah Law and Rule Examination.

     

    State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

    Section 58-39a-1 and Subsections 58-1-106(1)(a) and 58-1-202(1)(a)

     

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    The Division will incur minimal costs of approximately $75 to reprint the rule once the proposed amendments are made effective. Any costs incurred will be absorbed in the Division's current budget.

     

    local governments:

    Proposed amendments do not apply to local governments; therefore, no costs or savings are anticipated. Proposed amendments only apply to applicants for certification as an ADRP.

     

    other persons:

    Proposed amendments only apply to applicants for certification as an ADRP. Those applicants for certification will see a savings of $75 in that they will no longer be required to take the Utah ADRP Law and Rule Examination. The Division estimates approximately three new ADRPs are certified on a yearly basis, thus resulting in an aggregate savings of $225. It should be noted however, that any testing agency which the Division has contracted with to give the law/rule examination will see a decrease in the examination fees noted above.

     

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    Proposed amendments only apply to applicants for certification as an ADRP. Those applicants for certification will see a savings of $75 in that they will no longer be required to take the ADRP Utah Law and Rule Examination. It should be noted however that any testing agency which the Division has contracted with to give the law/rule examination will see a decrease in the examination fees noted above.

     

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

    The regulated industry will experience a cost-savings as a result of the elimination of the Utah Law and Rule Examination. No further fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated. Francine A. Giani, Executive Director
