RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The purpose of this amendment is to update the current rule as to the members serving on the Boating Advisory Council (BAC), and adding an additional name to represent the youth.

Summary of the rule or change:

The current rule states there are five, but there has been a representative for personal watercraft users serving on the board that has not been reflected in the current rule, and there needs to be a youth member added, bringing the total number of BAC members to seven. Those now represented are the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, sailing or nonpowered water craft users, wildlife and outdoor recreation associations, marine dealers, personal water craft users, and then adding the youth member to represent the younger population of water craft users in the State of Utah.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 73-18-3.5

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

Since membership on the council is voluntary, no cost or savings is anticipated for the state budget.

local governments:

This is a state advisory council, there are no anticipated costs or savings to local government.

other persons:

By adding a youth member, a broader group of people will have knowledge of the boating laws and safety. There is no cost or savings associated with this change.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There will be no compliance costs for affected persons since this is just changing the number of representatives on the BAC.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

Because this simply changes the number of voluntary BAC members, the Department anticipates no fiscal impact to businesses.
