Added at 13 Ok Reg 3025, eff 7-15-96; Amended at 26 Ok Reg 559, eff 3-1-08 through 7-14-09 (emergency)1; Amended at 26 Ok Reg 2690, eff 7-25-09
1This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last effective permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-09 (after the 7-14-09 expiration of the emergency action), the text of 455:10-1-2 reverted back to the permanent text that became effective 7-15-96, as was last published in the 2006 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended again by permanent action on 7-25-09.
