(1) The State Library Division shall review all public library policies received by July 1, beginning 2001, for compliance with this rule.

(2) The Director of the State Library Division shall issue notices of compliance or non-compliance within 30 days following the receipt of the policy and accompanying letter affirming its compliance with Section 9-7-215, UCA. Any library not submitting a policy and accompanying letter shall receive a notice of non-compliance.

(3) Appeals to a notice of non-compliance shall be submitted in writing, within 30 days of the date of the notice, to the Executive Director of the Department of Community and Culture, who shall respond within 30 days.

(4) A public library receiving a notice of non-compliance shall not be eligible to receive state funds until the condition(s) upon which the notice of non-compliance is based are corrected and a notice of compliance is received.

(5) A public library in compliance shall be eligible to receive state funds in state fiscal year beginning 2002 and subsequent years, as long as a current Policy and accompanying letter is resubmitted to the State Library Division no later than July 1, 2004, and every three years thereafter.

(6) A public library otherwise in compliance with the provisions of this rule shall not lose eligibility to receive state funds unless a complaint under its Policy results in a ruling from a court of law that a violation of applicable State Statute occurred expressly due to insufficient enforcement of, or deficient language in the Policy.
