A summary of the Bulletin -- the Utah State Digest -- is also available online.

Format Notes

The Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the Bulletin is the official version. PDF files may be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader or Sumatra PDF.

The Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) version of the Bulletin includes information published in the corresponding PDF edition of the Bulletin (same issue date). 

For 1996 and 1997, only a WordPerfect version of the Bulletin is available. For these issues, pagination and layout will change depending on the printer driver installed on the machine used to view the file.  These files are compressed.   The compressed files may be explored using Windows XP, or with a utility like Zip Reader, 7-Zip, or a similar program.  WordPerfect 6.x or higher is required to read the WPD files.

Authentication (the MD5 Hash)

The Division of Administrative Rules has generated an MD5 hash for the PDF files (files saved with an ".pdf" extension) and the compressed WordPerfect files (1996 and 1997 only; files saved with a ".zip" extension) that can be downloaded from this web page.  An MD5 hash is, in essence, a signature for a file. You can confirm the integrity of the files you download by comparing the MD5 hash the Division has posted with one that you generate. Various software packages are available that permit you to generate an MD5 hash such as MD5Summer (graphical user interface), winMD5Sum (graphical user interface), MD5SUMS (no graphical user interface), or File Checksum Integrity Verifier (no graphical user interface). If the hashes do not match exactly, then the integrity of the file is in question. Please contact the Division of Administrative Rules immediately at 801-538-3003 if the hash numbers do not match.
