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 9-6-205 gives the board the authority to make, amend, or repeal rules in conducting the business of the division. It also empowers them to receive gifts, bequests, property, and to provide grants and awards for competitions. It mandates the board to make policy for the Division of Arts and Museums. This rule is required in order to ensure that the division establishes standards, rules, and guidelines for funding and competition opportunities. It also requires that the division notify the public of these opportunities.

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:

The purpose of the Utah Arts Council is to advance arts and culture and to engage every person in Utah in the arts. The division's goals are to increase awareness and understanding of the public value of arts and culture; to cultivate and formalize strategic partnerships; foster education and life-long participation; foster creativity and technological innovation in arts and culture; to invest in communities by strengthening the arts and cultural infrastructure; and to improve access to opportunities and resources through efficient delivery of services. These goals and objects clearly address the mandate of the state statute. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
