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 is enacted under the statutory authority granted to the Risk Manager under Subsection 63A-4-101(2) to recommend to the Executive Director of the Department of Administrative Services that rules be promulgated to address underwriting, other standards and other actions or requirements necessary to carry out the duties of the division. The Executive Director of the Department of Administrative Services is empowered by Subsection 63A-1-105.5 to enact administrative rules for the various divisions of the 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:

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:

This rule provides client agencies (state, school districts, and higher education) with the specific requirements and expectations of the Division of Risk Management (Risk) with regard to coverage and other associated activities of the division. The rule also spells out what the client may expect from Risk in the terms of services and what Risk requires of client agencies. The rule provides specific guidance to clients that is not found in the broad statutes that establish Risk Management or which outline how defense and indemnification can be obtained. The rule needs to be continued in order to assist both Risk Management in providing the services required by statute and to assist agencies to know what they can expect from Risk.
