Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous 1. Any of the foregoing Rules and Regulations of the Board may be suspended and/or modified by a majority vote of the State Board of Contractors unless such suspension or modification is inconsistent with the general laws governing the Board and its operation provided that such suspension or modification is made in compliance with the provisions of the Mississippi Administrative Procedures Law, Miss. Code Ann. §§ 25-43-1.101 through 25-43-3.114, as amended. 2. Should the Board determine that an emergency exists because of an imminent threat to the public, it may thereby invoke rule actions with fewer than twenty-five (25) days' notice in accordance with Miss. Code Ann. § 25-43-3.108. In any such instances, the Board must state in writing its reasons for doing so. It may abbreviate or eliminate the rule action notice for a period of not longer than one hundred and twenty (120) days renewable one time for not more than ninety (90) days. After this time, the normal notice procedure would once again apply. 3. If any provision of any section of these Rules and Regulations or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of that section or application of the Rules and Regulations which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or application, and to this end the provisions of these Rules and Regulations are declared to be severable. 4. These Rules and Regulations shall become effective thirty (30) days after promulgation and filing with the Secretary of State.
