Note

EDITOR’S NOTE: A new permanent rule was promulgated in error by the agency at this number (35:15-40-90) at 22 Ok Reg 688, with a scheduled effective date of 5-12-05, after having been withdrawn earlier by the agency from the rulemaking process [see Notice of Withdrawn Rules published at 22 Ok Reg 683]. Because the proposed rule was withdrawn prior to the end of the Legislature's 30-legislative-day review period, the rule should not have been filed by the agency for promulgation in the Register. However, a second permanent rulemaking action adding a new rule at this Section number was NOT withdrawn by the agency, and became effective 7-11-05.
