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:

Under Subsection 23-19-9(15), the Wildlife Board is authorized and required to provide rules to regulate the suspension of a person's privilege of applying for, purchasing, and exercising the benefits conferred by a license, permit, or certificate of registration.

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

No written comments were received during or since the last five-year review.

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

Rule R657-26 provides the procedures and standards for the suspension of a person's privileges of applying for, purchasing, and exercising the benefits conferred by a license, permit, or certificate of registration. Suspension of a person's license, permit, or certificate of registration privileges is appropriate in certain situations because violating wildlife laws harms the agency's ability to manage wildlife; hunting and fishing are privileges granted by the state to those who are willing to obey the laws established to protect wildlife and implement wildlife management programs; violating wildlife laws harms other sportsmen and members of the public who share the resource; and preventing certain individuals having a license, permit, or certificate of registration for a period of time redresses the harm they caused. Furthermore, the provisions adopted in this rule are necessary for the agency to fulfill the statutory requirements outlined in Sections 23-19-9 and 23-19.1 and therefore, this rule should be continued.
