All Administrative Rules Reauthorized

On Thursday, March 8 (the final night of the 2012 General Session), the House of Representatives amended S.B. 30 making the bill reauthorizes all administrative rules.  The Senate concurred with the amended at 11:47 PM — with 13 minutes to spare. The bill was approved by more than two-third so all administrative rules are reauthorized effective May 1, 2012.

A Nonreauthorization Bill?

Rep. John Dougall is sponsoring H.B. 335 (2012), Professional Licensing Amendments.  This bill “excludes from reauthorization four subsections within the rules of the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing”, specifically:

  • R156-3a-102(6)(d);
  • R156-3a-102(6)(e);
  • R156-22-102(6)(d); and
  • R156-22-102(6)(e).

The bill contains a coordination clause which coordinates the provisions of H.B. 335 with the provisions of S.B. 30, Administrative Rules Reauthorization.

More information about H.B. 335 is available online from the Legislature’s web site at http://le.utah.gov/~2012/htmdoc/hbillhtm/hb0335.htm .

Rules Reauthorization Bill Passes Senate

Senate Bill 30 (2012) passed the Senate on Thursday, January 26.  During consideration of the bill on the Senate 3rd Reading Calendar, Sen. Howard Stephenson indicated that he expects Education and Human Resource Management to address the issues that caused the Administrative Rules Review Committee to recommend not reauthorizing portions of their rules.  Stephenson indicated on Wednesday that he intends to hold the bill in the House of Representatives until the final week of the session.  That will allow Legislators to amend the bill if necessary.

The House has assigned the reauthorization bill to the House Workforce Services and Community and Economic Development Committee committee.  More information about S.B. 30 is available on the Legislature’s web site at http://le.utah.gov/~2012/htmdoc/sbillhtm/SB0030.htm .
