    (d) Severance. The exclusive representative may, of its own accord, 
accomplish the severance of a previously submitted proposal or 
provision. To accomplish severance, the exclusive representative must 
identify the proposal or provision that the exclusive representative is 
severing and set forth the exact wording of the newly severed 
portion(s). Further, as part of the exclusive representative's 
explanation and argument about why the newly severed portion(s) are 
within the duty to bargain or not contrary to law, the exclusive 
representative must explain how the severed portion(s) stand alone with

explanation and argument in support of the severed portion(s) must meet 
the same requirements for specific information set forth in paragraph

burdens under Sec.  2424.32.
