Note
EDITOR’S NOTE: This emergency action expired without being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last effective permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-08 (after the 7-14-08 expiration of the emergency action), the text of 230:35-3-98 reverted back to the permanent text that became effective 7-1-95, as was last published in the 2006 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended by permanent action on 7-15-13.
