Summary


Within the Search and Rescue Financial Assistance Program, there are two proposed changes. First, updating the definition for "family" pertaining to the Utah Search and Rescue Assistance Card program. This change was suggested by the Utah Search and Rescue Advisory Board which oversees the Search and Rescue Financial Assistance Program, as well as the Utah Search and Rescue Assistance Card. The updated family definition will include any members who may be living within the household to include relatives or those co-habitating, working to further include the various households represented within the State of Utah. The second proposed rule amendment is increased fee schedule for "organized groups" pertaining to the Utah Search and Rescue Assistance Card program. The Search and Rescue Advisory Board proposed increasing the charged fee for medium (25-50 persons) and large (51 persons and more) organized groups. The increase is due to the number of persons that may be included in the purchase of an "organized group" Utah Search and Rescue Assistance Card.
