Emergency Rule Procedure

Emergency Rule Procedure. Should the Executive Director of DFA determine that an emergency exists because of an imminent threat to the public, he or she may thereby invoke rule actions with fewer than twenty-five (25) days notice. In any such instances, the DFA 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.
