Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 1 - Secretary of State › Part 1 - Administrative Law › Chapter 2 - Compilation, Indexing, and Publication of the Mississippi Administrative Bulletin › Rule 1-1-2.3 - Organization of the Mississippi Administrative Bulletin

Current through June 25, 2024
The public can access all notices, proposed rules offered
				  for comment, and rules that have been adopted to be transmitted to the
				  Mississippi Administrative Code upon the effective date through the Mississippi
				  Administrative Bulletin published on the Secretary of State's website at
www.sos.ms.gov
. By knowing the
				  issuing agency for any rule of interest, a summary of the rule and links to
				  both the filing notice and the full text of the rule can be viewed.
The Mississippi Administrative Bulletin and The Mississippi
				  Administrative Code are organized by the Secretary of State's Office into
				  Titles that either correspond to primary state agencies or to broad subject
				  matters. Prior to filing a proposed rule or rules, agencies assign consecutive
				  page numbers beginning with the number one (1) on the first page of the
				  proposed rule(s) and continuing consecutively to the end of the document,
				  including all pages except the notice page. The month and year of filing will
				  follow the page number to complete a full citation to a rule published in the
				  Bulletin. The structure of the citation is as follows:
[title] Mississippi Administrative Bulletin [reference
				  number], at [page number(s)] ([filed date]).
A. [title] represents the agency designation
				or broad subject matter title within which the rules are organized, as assigned
				by the Secretary of State.
B.
				[reference number] represents the unique number assigned to a proposed rule
				adoption, a final rule adoption, or an emergency rule adoption when it is filed
				with the Secretary of State's Office. The reference number is assigned when a
				rule is uploaded to the Administrative Bulletin for publication. This
				identifier is located on the last line of the summary description of the
				rule.
C. [page number(s)]
				represents the page number on which the rule or supporting material relating to
				the rule is found in the Bulletin. The submitting agency assigns page numbers
				in accordance with Chapter 4 Rule 4.9 of this Title.
D. [file date] represents the specific date
				on which a proposed rule adoption, a final rule adoption, or an emergency rule
				adoption is filed with the Secretary of State's Office. For citation purposes,
				file dates shall be represented using two digits for the month, two digits for
				the day, and four digits for the year. These numbers shall be separated by
				slashes. For example, June 23, 2010 would be cited as: 06/23/2010.
1) Example: If the Secretary of State's
				Office filed a proposed rule on December 2, 2009 and was assigned a reference
				number of 99999, the citation to the second page of the document is:
1 Mississippi Administrative Bulletin 99999, at 2
				  (12/02/2009).
2) A short
				citation to the second page of the same document is:
1 Miss. Admin. Bull. 99999, at 2
				  (12/02/2009).
