Summary


On 03/25/2015, H.B. 229, Air Quality Modifications, was signed into law. H.B. 229 (2015) revised the statutory definition of Asbestos and modified what suspect asbestos-containing materials need to be inspected for in residential structures. Rule R307-801 was amended to reflect the changes enacted by H.B. 229, as well as modifications recommended by the Division of Air Quality (Division) staff and the regulated community to help the Division administer the Utah Asbestos Program. Five comments were received and addressed during that rule amendment process. No comments have been received in support of or in opposition to this rule since the 2016 amendment was adopted.
