§ 16-31.5-12-11 — Emergency rules

Upon determination that an emergency
exists, the commission may consider and adopt an emergency rule
without prior notice, opportunity for comment, or hearing, provided
that the usual rulemaking procedures provided in the compact and in
this chapter shall be retroactively applied to the rule as soon as
reasonably possible, in no event later than ninety (90) days after the
effective date of the rule. For purposes of this section, an emergency
rule is one that must be adopted immediately in order to:
(1) meet an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare;
(2) prevent a loss of commission or member state funds;
(3) meet a deadline for the promulgation of an administrative rule
that is established by federal law or rule; or
(4) protect public health and safety.
