Universal Citation: OK Admin Code 655:10-5-8
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 or to move an Appendix to an UNUSED Appendix letter within the same Chapter.
(1) When
moving Sections and Appendices within a Chapter, the number newly-assigned to
the Section or Appendix must be an unused Section number or Appendix letter.
Other forms of renumbering are not allowed and are unnecessary pursuant to the
following:
(A) When a Section or Appendix is
revoked, renumbering of the subsequent Sections or Appendices is not allowed
and is unnecessary because the number and source note of the revoked Section or
Appendix remain in the Code and the number/letter is not used again except
pursuant to
655:10-3-30.
(B) When a Section or Appendix is added
between two existing Sections or Appendices, renumbering of the subsequent
Sections or Appendices is not allowed and is unnecessary because the new
Section or Appendix is numbered/lettered pursuant to the decimal point system
in
655:10-3-28.
(2) If a Section or Appendix is
moved to another Chapter, it must be revoked in one rulemaking action and
adopted as a new Section or Appendix in another rulemaking action.
(b) Renumbering procedure, format. When preparing renumbered Sections or Appendices within a Chapter, agencies shall prepare the renumbering as follows:
(1)
Renumbered without
amendment. When a Section or Appendix is renumbered with no other
changes to the Section or Appendix:
(A) The
number and tagline of the Section being renumbered, or the letter and heading
of the Appendix being relettered, are retained in correct
numerical/alphabetical order within the text of the Chapter. The capitalized
phrase "[RENUMBERED TO (new Section or Appendix)]" follows the tagline or
heading. The text of the Section being renumbered is stricken. The contents of
the Appendix being renumbered is not stricken; and
(B) The newly-numbered Section or Appendix
appears in correct numerical/alphabetical order within the Chapter. The Section
number and tagline are underscored; the text of the Section is underscored. The
Appendix letter and heading and the Appendix contents are not underscored;
however, the word [NEW] is typed after the Appendix letter and
heading.
(2)
Amended and renumbered. When a Section or Appendix is renumbered,
in addition to being amended:
(A) The number
and tagline of the Section being renumbered, or the letter and heading of the
Appendix being relettered, are retained in correct numerical/alphabetical order
within the text of the Chapter. The capitalized phrase "[AMENDED AND RENUMBERED
TO (new Section or Appendix)]" follows the tagline or heading. The text of the
Section being renumbered is stricken. The contents of the Appendix being
renumbered is not stricken; and
(B)
The newly-numbered Section or Appendix appears in its correct
numerical/alphabetical order within the Chapter. The Section number and
tagline, or Appendix letter and heading, are underscored. The text of the
Section is underscored. The contents of the Appendix is not underscored;
however, the word [NEW] is typed after the Appendix letter and
heading.
