§ 41-1028 — Incorporation by reference

A. An agency may incorporate by reference in its rules, and without publishing the incorporated matter in full, all or any part of a code, standard, rule or regulation of an agency of the United States or of this state or a nationally recognized organization or association, if incorporation of its text in agency rules would be unduly cumbersome, expensive or otherwise inexpedient.

B. The reference in the agency rules shall fully identify the incorporated matter by location, date and otherwise and shall state that the rule does not include any later amendments or editions of the incorporated matter.

C. An agency may incorporate by reference such matter in its rules only if the agency, organization or association originally issuing that matter makes copies of it readily available to the public for inspection and reproduction.

D. The rules shall state where copies of the incorporated matter are available from the agency issuing the rule and from the agency of the United States or this state or the organization or association originally issuing the matter.

E. An agency may incorporate later amendments or editions of the incorporated matter only after compliance with the rule making requirements of this chapter.
