Utah Admin. Code R82-6-801 - Reception Center - Reporting Requirement for Reception Center Licensees

(1) Authority. This rule is made pursuant to Section 32B-6-805.

(2) Purpose. This rule implements the requirement of Section 32B-6-805, which requires the Commission to provide by rule procedures for reception center licensees to report scheduled events to the Department to allow random inspections of events by authorized representatives of the Commission, the Department, or a law enforcement officer to monitor compliance with Utah alcoholic beverage control laws.

(3) Application.

(a) A reception center licensee shall file with the Department at the beginning of each quarter a report containing advance notice of events that have been scheduled as of the reporting date for that quarter.

(b)

(i) The quarterly reports are due on or before January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year and may be hand-delivered, submitted by mail, or submitted electronically.

(ii) If the licensee adds an event for a quarter after the licensee has already turned in the report, the licensee shall promptly contract the licensee's compliance officer to supplement the report.

(c) The report shall include the name and specific location of each event and the name of the third-party host of the event.

(d)

(i) Upon request, the Department shall provide access to the reports to a commissioner, authorized representative of the Department, or law enforcement officer for use as described in Subsection (2).

(ii) The Department and law enforcement may use the scheduled banquet event documents only for the purposes stated in this rule.

(e) The Department shall retain a copy of each report for up to one year after submission of the report.

(f) Because any report filed under this rule contains commercial information, the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to result in unfair competitive injury to the licensee submitting the information, and the licensee or sublicensee submitting the information has a greater interest in prohibiting access than the public in obtaining access to the report, the Department shall:

(i) deem a filed report to include a claim of business confidentiality and a request that the report be classified as protected pursuant to Sections 63G-2-305 and 63G-2-309; and

(ii) classify a filed report as protected pursuant to Section 63G-2-305.

(g) Failure of an on-premise banquet licensee or sublicensee to timely file a quarterly report under this rule may result in disciplinary action pursuant to Sections 32B-3-201 through 32B-3-207 and R82-3-102 and R82-3-103.
