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:

Section 63-11-17 states that the board may make rules that provide for public safety and preserve the peace within state parks. It also states the the division has the duty to protect state parks and park property from misuse or damage. Concessions are bid for competitive results and permits are issued for special events to keep the peace and make available services, but not force them upon the recreating public. This rule prohibits begging and soliciting as they are both unnerving and harassing when trying to enjoy our state parks.

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 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:

This rule will continue to make begging and soliciting illegal except by authorized concessionaires or by permit. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
