Note

EDITOR’S NOTE: This emergency action expired without being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action revoking a Section, the last effective permanent text of the Section is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-93 (after the 7-14-93 expiration of the emergency action), the text of 455:10-3-3 reverted back to the permanent text as it existed prior to 1-1-93, and remained as such until amended by permanent action on 7-15-96.
