Section 63G-3-305 requires each agency to review its rules within five years of each rule’s original enactment, and then within five-year intervals. To comply with the review requirement, the agency must submit a “Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation” for each of its rules listed below. Otherwise, unreviewed rules expire, become unenforceable, and will be removed from the Utah Administrative Code. Reviews may be filed ANY TIME prior to the deadline.
When filing a “Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation,” eRules requires that a copy of the rule text (no underlining or strike-out) be attached. Current rule text in RTF format is available from http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code.htm. You may also contact the Division (801-538-3003) to obtain a current version of a rule.
We strongly encourage agencies *not* to wait until the due date to file a five-year review. If there is a problem filing on that day, the agency could lose its rule because the deadline was missed.
