No written comments have been received.

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

There has been no opposition to the rule and Adult Protective Services' functions are critical to the protection of Utah's most vulnerable seniors, in addition to being required and by Section 62A-3-301 of the Older Americans Act.
