Filed: 12/13/2016 10:29:31 AM

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:

As required by Section 63-2-204, this rule specifies where and to whom a request for access of Department of Human Services (DHS) records shall be directed.

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 were received.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule gives clarity to the state law and helps the public understand department policies and procedures, and what the public needs to do in order to comply with the Government Records and Access Act. Without this rule, the public would not know how to file a GRAMA request, what costs are involved, or how to appeal a denial of their request. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
