Source of Authority Requirements

Source of Authority Requirements. At the end of each submitted rule the submitting agency must identify the statutory authority (the “source”) for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of the submitted rule. The source of authority consists of a citation to the statute conferring the authority to promulgate the rule. The inclusion of the source information following the rule is for reference only and shall not be considered as substantive rule text. An example of the source of authority for the promulgation of this rule as it must appear for publication is as follows: ‘Source: Miss. Code Ann. § 25-43-2.101 (Rev. 2006).’
