				  (emergency)1
1This emergency action
				  (amending 485:10-5-3 and renumbering it to this Section 485:10-5-5.1) was
				  terminated upon the Governor's 3-26-92 disapproval of a proposed permanent
				  action that was intended to supersede the emergency action, as set forth in 75
				  O.S., §303.2. Upon termination of an emergency action amending and
				  renumbering a Section to a new Section number, the text of the Section that was
				  renumbered reverts back to the text that was effective prior to the emergency
				  action, and the new Section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 3-26-92, this
				  section (485:10-5-5.1) was no longer effective. [See the Editor's Note at
				  485:10-5-3.]
