Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) "Renumbering" defined; restrictions. "Renumber" means to move a Section to an UNUSED Section number within the same Chapter.

(1) When moving Sections within a Chapter, the number newly-assigned to the Section must be an unused Section number. Other forms of renumbering are not allowed and are unnecessary pursuant to the following:
(A) When a Section is revoked, renumbering of the subsequent Sections is not allowed and is unnecessary because the number and source note of the revoked Section remain in the Code and the number/letter is not used again except pursuant to 655:10-3-30.

(B) When a Section is added between two existing Sections, renumbering of the subsequent Sections is not allowed and is unnecessary because the new Section is numbered/lettered pursuant to the decimal point system in 655:10-3-28.

(2) If a Section is moved to another Chapter, it must be revoked in one rulemaking action and adopted as a new Section in another rulemaking action.

(b) Renumbering procedure, format. When preparing renumbered Sections within a Chapter, agencies shall prepare the renumbering as follows:

(1) Renumbered without amendment. When a Section is renumbered with no other changes to the Section:
(A) The number and tagline of the Section being renumbered, are retained in correct numerical/alphabetical order within the text of the Chapter. The capitalized phrase "[RENUMBERED TO (new Section)]" follows the tagline. The text of the Section being renumbered is stricken.

(B) The newly-numbered Section appears in correct numerical/alphabetical order within the Chapter. The Section number and tagline are underscored; the text of the Section is underscored.

(2) Amended and renumbered. When a Section is renumbered, in addition to being amended:
(A) The number and tagline of the Section being renumbered are retained in correct numerical/alphabetical order within the text of the Chapter. The text of the Section being renumbered is stricken; and

(B) The newly-numbered Section appears in its correct numerical/alphabetical order within the Chapter. The Section number and tagline are underscored. The text of the Section is underscored.
