Regular rulemaking procedures would place the agency in violation of federal or state law.

Justification:The Families First Prevention Services Act went into effect in February 2019 and requires all states to be compliant with the background screening requirements set within.Because Utah's compliance hinged on a statutory change, this rule couldn't be implemented until the statute changes went into effect today, 05/14/2019.The proposed amendment for this rule is already out for public comment, but the Office of Administration, Administrative Services, Licensing (Office) promised to be in compliance at the earliest possible date, which would be 05/14/2019 with this emergency filing.(EDITOR'S NOTE:The corresponding proposed amendment to Rule R501-14 is under Filing No. 43691 published in the May 15, 2019, Utah State Bulletin.)
