Added at 12 Ok Reg 1529, eff 5-26-95; Amended at 13 Ok Reg 3937, eff 7-16-96 (emergency); Amended at 14 Ok Reg 394, eff 11-21-96 through 7-14-97 (emergency)¹; Amended at 14 Ok Reg 3238, eff 7-25-97; Amended at 16 Ok Reg 15, eff 8-20-98 (emergency); Amended at 16 Ok Reg 1643, eff 5-31-99; Amended at 19 Ok Reg 1544, eff 7-1-02²

¹This emergency action expired without being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last prior permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-97 (after the 7-14-97 expiration of the emergency action), the text of Section 800:25-7-22 reverted back to the permanent text that became effective 5-26-95, as was last published in the 1996 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended by permanent action on 7-25-97.

²In 2002, the agency promulgated two permanent amended versions of this Section (800:25-7-22) with the same effective date (7-1-02). As of the cutoff date for the 2011 Edition of the OAC, the agency had not amended Section 800:25-7-22 to reconcile the two versions. Therefore, both versions are published again herein.
