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						without being superseded by a permanent action.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
						7-15-96 (after the 7-14-96 expiration of the emergency action), the text of
						Section 800:25-5-2 reverted back to the permanent text that became effective
						6-12-95, and remained as such until amended by permanent action on
						8-26-96.
2This emergency action expired
						on 3-9-97, pursuant to the expiration date stated by the agency in the preamble
						of the emergency rule document approved by the Governor, as published at 14 Ok
						Reg 391. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last prior
						permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 3-10-97 (after the 3-9-97
						expiration of the emergency action), the text of Section 800:25-5-2 reverted
						back to the permanent text that became effective 8-26-96, as was last published
						in the 1996 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended by permanent
						action on 7-25-97.
