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 authorized under Section 76-5-406.5 which requires the Department to develop criteria for the approval of the treatment program and professionals.

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

There have been no written comments received regarding this rule.

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

The purpose of this rule is to define the criteria and guidelines for the standards, application and approval process, and program requirements for sex offender treatment providers. This rule should be continued because the varied treatment providers, who contract with the State, need consistent standards to follow, and the State needs the assurance that a minimum standard is being met by all providers. This helps prevent the release of untreated sex offenders into the community, and reduces the danger to the public.
