NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule is required by Subsection 26A-1-106(1)(c), which requires the Department of Health to establish minimum performance standards for local health departments.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

Prior to the adoption of a significant rule amendment late in 2004, the rule required a physician health officer in larger health districts. A waiver to this requirement had been granted on several occasions. Written comments were received about the waivers from county commissioners and other interested parties, supporting loosening this requirement.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule sets local health department minimum performance standards to establish minimum public health programs throughout the state. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
