Note
Editor's Note: Prior to 5-29-13, the Ethics Commission promulgated some rules pursuant to the statutory requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act [75 O. S., §§ 250 et seq.] and other rules pursuant to a special process established by constitution [OKLA. CONST. art 29, § 3]. The Commission's "administrative" rules (i.e., those rules subject to the Administrative Procedures Act) were published in this Title 258 of the OAC (after having been revoked in Title 257), and the Commission's "constitutional" rules were published in the Oklahoma Statutes at 74 O.S., Ch. 62, Appendix.Effective 5-29-13, Senate Bill 557 (2013) directed the Commission to begin promulgating their administrative rules "in the same manner as all other Rules of the Ethics Commission are promulgated as prescribed by Section 3 of Article XXIX of the Oklahoma Constitution" [74:4250(C)], a process which requires publication in the Oklahoma Statutes rather than the OAC. SB 557 also ordered that the rules in this Title 258 of the OAC "shall remain in effect until modified or repealed by rules promulgated pursuant to the [constitutional process] or by law passed by the Legislature" [74:4250(C)]. The Ethics Commission later revoked the rules in this Title 258, effective 9-11-15.
