This rule is implemented under Section 72-1-201. Section 72-1-201 gives the Department authority to maintain and control who works on the state's highways. Rule R907-67 allows the Department to keep the best qualified contractors working on the highways.

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 in connection with this rule.

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

This rule helps the Department maintain the highest quality and integrity of the contractors who work on the state's highways, by being able to debar any contractor who has shown fraud and misrepresentation. Being able to debar protects the resources of the State of Utah. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
