No. 33906 (Amendment): Section R162-101-2. Definitions

(Amendment)

DAR File No.: 33906
Filed: 08/10/2010 02:34:58 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

New definitions are proposed to facilitate rules by which individuals are required to report an affiliation to the division, and to comply with deadlines.

Summary of the rule or change:

Definitions are proposed for the terms "affiliation," "day," "entity," and "person."

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

• Sections 61-2b-20 to 61-2b-31

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

The proposed definitions create no new programs that must be overseen or enforced by the state. No impact to the state budget is anticipated.

local governments:

Local governments are not required to comply with or enforce the appraisal rules. The proposed definitions will have no fiscal impact to local governments.

small businesses:

Small businesses are not required to comply with the appraiser rules, which affect individuals only. The proposed definitions will have no fiscal impact to small businesses.

persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

The proposed definitions help to facilitate amendments to other sections of the appraisal rules. One of those amendments creates a new duty under which appraisers are required to submit a change form to the division when they change an affiliation, as that term is defined. The submission of a change form requires a fee, and that burden is discussed in the rule analysis for Rules R162-102 and R162-110. (DAR NOTE: The proposed amendment to Rule R162-102 is under DAR No. 33908 and the proposed amendment to Rule R162-110 is under DAR No. 33909 is this issue, September 1, 2010, of the Bulletin.)

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The proposed definitions alone do not require compliance. They help to facilitate other rules, and the compliance costs are discussed in the analysis of those rules.

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

No fiscal impact to businesses is anticipated from this filing, which provides clarifying definition for other sections and makes other technical changes.
