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 Section 63-11-17, safety, both of amenities and people are covered in items for which the board may make rules. This rule was established to list areas where any of the titled transportation devices are prohibited and locations where they may be designated or posted for such use by the park manager.

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:

For safety purposes, especially to the public and to the visitors as well, skating, skateboards, and motorized transportation devices are prohibited in all state park areas, except where actually posted/designated for that activity by the park manager. Since safety of our visitors and also of park employees/staff is one of the most important goals at our state parks, this rule should be continued.
