Added at 13 Ok Reg 1099, eff 1-31-96 through 7-14-96 (emergency); Added at 13 Ok Reg 3951, eff 10-11-96; Amended at 21 Ok Reg 1959, eff 5-11-04 (emergency); Amended at 22 Ok Reg 688, eff 5-12-05¹; Amended at 22 Ok Reg 2299, eff 7-11-05; Amended at 27 Ok Reg 2433, eff 7-25-10

Amended by Oklahoma Register, Volume 34, Issue 24, September 1, 2017, eff. 9/11/2017

¹Permanent amendments to this Section number (35:15-40-91) promulgated at 22 Ok Reg 688, with a scheduled effective date of 5-12-05, had been withdrawn earlier by the agency from the rulemaking process [see Notice of Withdrawn Rules published at 22 Ok Reg 683]. Because the proposed amendments were withdrawn prior to the end of the Legislature's 30-legislative-day review period, the amended rule should not have been filed for promulgation in the Register. However, a second permanent rulemaking action adding a new rule at this Section number was NOT withdrawn by the agency, and became effective 7-11-05.
