    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:

    In Utah, the authority to commute a sentence rests with the Board of Pardons and Parole (Board), see Subsection 63G-3-201(3), Sections 77-27-1 et seq., 77-27-9, and 77-27-5, and the Utah Constitution Art VII, Sec 12. Therefore, the Board must enact rules about how a commutation petition is filed and how the Board conducts commutation hearings.

    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 rule provides the framework of how the Board executes its authority to commute sentences. The rule is necessary to inform individuals how to petition for a commutation and how the Board will proceed when a petition is received. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
