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).

Miss. Code Ann.§ 25-43-2.101 (Rev. 2006).
