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:

This rule explains that residents of long-term care facilities can utilize senior centers and programs even if they do not reside in the service area, provided they comply with program rules and pay any additional costs the center might incur due to the individual's participation as required by Subsection 62A-3-104(4) and Sections 62A-3-107 through 108, which require local area agencies to allow long-term care facilities to participate in center activities.

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:

There has been no opposition to the rule. The rule clarifies the amendment process that has been agreed upon with the Area Agencies on Aging and ensures state compliance with Subsections 62A-3-104(4) and Sections 62A-3-107 through 108, as well as the older Americans Act. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
