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 enacted under Section 78-45-7.5 which requires each parent to provide verification of current income for the purpose of calculating a base child support award under Utah's child support guidelines. In addition, Section 78-45-7.3 permits the moving party to submit an affidavit representing the other party's income based on the best evidence available. This rule defines "best evidence available" and the process of providing the affidavit to the other party.

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 comments received since the last five-year review of the rule.

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

It is necessary to continue this rule to provide a clear definition of "best evidence available", and to explain the process for providing the nonmoving party with the submitted affidavit of income before it is used as evidence in calculating a base child support award.
