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 62A-2-106 directs the Office of Licensing to make rules governing consumer safety, protection, minimum administration, and financial requirements for the agencies. Additionally, Section 62A-2-101 states foster care services shall be licensed and directs the Office of Licensing to establish the minimum requirements for foster homes and proctor homes for children in the custody of the Human Services Department.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

The Office of Licensing has not received any written comments during the past five years.

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

Sections 62A-2-101 through 62A-2-122 provide for the issuance of a license for human service programs. This rule provides guidance to those programs throughout the process of obtaining licenses, and annually during license renewals. This rule allows the office to enforce and ensure the human service programs are maintaining best practices for consumer safety and protection for children in foster and proctor homes. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
