Summary


The Department sought comments from the local health departments in Utah, as well as the Utah Hotel and Lodging Association. No comments were received in opposition to a continuation of Rule R392-502. A few individuals from the local health departments provided comments to propose a revision of select regulatory requirements as summarized as follows: Summit County Health Department said the rule should specify laundry wash water temperature and duration; and require hotel managers to notify the local health department when there is a disruption in public water availability. Southwest Utah Health Department said to include requirements in the rule for proper pest control practices once a pest infestation has been identified. Central Utah Public Health Department said to make reference to the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act regarding smoking in public areas and non-smoking rooms and include a provision for the local health department to request building construction plans/drawings to ensure compliance with the rule.
