If a publication is incorporated by reference in the proposed emergency rule, pursuant to § 1-26-6.6 , the publication and statement must also be served on the person specified by subdivision 1-26-4 (1) and on code counsel. Code counsel shall return the publication to the agency upon completion of code counsel's review and the agency shall retain the publication. Any agency may use the emergency rule adoption procedure. An agency may not use the emergency rule adoption procedure for the convenience of the agency merely to avoid the consequences for failing to timely promulgate rules.
