RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

To better serve the needs of the recreating public and increase state revenue, two new golf passes would be added, i.e., one to Green River and Palisade State Park golf courses, an annual Youth Golf Pass, answering inquiries by the local community for a pass that could be used by youth 16 years and under in summer when school is out; and an annual Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass that would add a business class pass to Wasatch Mountain State Park's fee schedule for golf.

Summary of the rule or change:

The annual Youth Golf Pass at Green River and Palisade State Park golf courses would add a new generation of customers to the sport of golf, thus increasing state revenue. The Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass would allow resort or businesses to purchase passes for their members, opening a new market for golf, while utilizing excess capacity at Soldier Hollow Golf Course at Wasatch Mountain State Park.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Subsection 63-11-17(8)

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

After a season passes, the Division will have a much more accurate idea of how much change there will be, but it appears the changes will be $15,000 for Palisade and Green River and $10,000 for Soldier Hollow.

local governments:

Maybe from the sale of golf balls, etc. but otherwise, there will be no anticipated cost or savings to local government.

other persons:

The cost to other persons would be $150 for the annual Youth Golf Pass to golfers 16 years of age or younger. Those wishing to purchase a Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass would pay $1,000 per year (including cart rental) with unlimited play. Both passes would be nontransferable.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

The purchaser would pay $150 for the annual Youth Golf Pass. The purchaser would pay $1,000 for the annual Soldier Hollow Golf Club Pass.

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

As this is the first season for these rule changes, there appears to be no impact on local businesses. Once a season is completed, the Division will have a better idea regarding impact on businesses. Michael Styler, Executive Director
