APPRAISAL
Administrative Historical Legal
Background information about state regulations such as drafts and public comments that show the evolution of a law from conception to the final product and are historically valuable. Information on federal laws or regulations that apply only to Utah are also historically valuable. While the information may be kept by the federal government and may be available to researchers there, prudence dictates keeping the state's copy. Regulations that apply to all states is distributed widely enough to eliminate the need for us to keep them.
