RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

The Legislature, by Subsection 73-18-7(11), assigned a monthly expiration system for vessels that supercedes the rule as it is written. This change will include the month of expiration decal. Also, there has been no rule regarding the new month of expiration decal, only printed instructions from the Division and the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). So Section R651-212-2 has been added to put that decal in the rule. (DAR NOTE: Section 73-18-7 was amended by S.B. 209 (2003) which is found at UT L 2003 Ch 317, and was effective 01/01/2004.)

Summary of the rule or change:

The word "yearly" has been added to Registration Decals and "Month of Expiration decals" have been added to this rule to conform with Subsection 73-18-7(11).

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Subsection 73-18-7(18)(b)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

These changes are to put the decals out when they should be issued and will conform to the existing statute. There are no anticipated costs or savings to the State budget.

local governments:

Since this rule only affects state agencies, no cost or savings are anticipated for local government.

other persons:

Persons applying for Registration or Month-Of-Registration decals will know when they are to get the decals and where to place them. The person(s) who utilize the off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreational vehicles, already purchase the decals, and since these changes simply make this rule conform to existing statute, there are no anticipated costs or savings to other persons.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

There are no compliance costs expected for affected persons since this amendment deals with the decals and time when they are due, and there are no costs associated at this time.

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

Because this rule change simply changes the time period associated with registration stickers from yearly to month-of-expiration, the Department anticipates no fiscal impact to businesses from the proposed changes.
