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:

Sections 63-46a-3, 64-13-17, 63-2-102, and 77-19-11 authorize this rule and express the legislative recognition of the right of privacy and the right of public access. This rule balances these rights with relation to the media.

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.

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

This rule should be continued because it defines those conditions under which the public interest in allowing restrictions on access by the media, may outweigh the public's interest in the media's access to records, correctional institutions, inmates, and other supervised offenders.
