Note

EDITOR’S NOTE: This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action enacting a new section, the section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 7-15-01 (after the 7-14-01 expiration of the emergency action), section 380:55-14-1 was no longer effective, and remained as such until added by permanent action on 9-14-01.
