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 allows the board to make rules regarding public safety, use of state park system, protection of state parks' natural and cultural resources, and this rule is written to support and define the uses of firearms, traps, and other weapons, the restrictions and who may carry a weapon and for what purpose.

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 deals with law enforcement, firearms, traps, and other weapons and assists in defining the statute. This rule defines the firearms, when they can be carried, and who has the authority to do so. It is important for the public and anyone reading the rule to understand exactly what some of these statutes mean. This rule explains and support the statute on a division level and for the public, and therefore, this rule should be continued.
