The Utah House of Representatives has passed H.B. 256 (2013), entitled “Reauthorization of Administrative Rules.” The original bill reauthorized all administrative rules except Subsection R277-445-3(B), Education, Administration, Classifying Small Schools as Necessarily Existent. The bill was amended in committee so that Subsection R592-2-7(2), Insurance, Title and Escrow Commission, Title Insurance Administrative Hearings and Penalty Imposition, Imposition of Penalties, is also not reauthorized.
Related to the Education issue, Education filed an amendment to Rule R277-445 to remove Subsection R277-445-3(B). That amendment was published in the 3/1/2013 edition of the Utah State Bulletin (see filing 37278). In addition, H.B. 173, entitled “Necessarily Existent Small Schools Funding Amendments”, passed. This bill inserts language similar to that found in Subsection R277-445-3(B) into statute.
H.B. 256 now heads to the Senate. More information about H.B. 256 is available from the Legislature’s web site at http://le.utah.gov/~2013/bills/static/hb0256.html .
