ARM 1.2.212. RULE NUMBERING METHOD FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULES OF MONTANA

(1) In the ARM, rules have a three-part numerical identifier, with each part separated by a decimal point. (a) For example, in rule number 44.122.1101: (i) the first part, "44", is the title number assigned to the department; (ii) the second part, "122", is the chapter number; and (iii) the first one or two digits in the third part, "11", represents the subchapter number and the last two digits, "01", represent the individual rule number. 44.122.1101 44 = title number 122 = chapter number 11 = subchapter number 01 = individual rule number (b) The entire number is referred to as the rule number. (2) In some instances, a department may find it necessary to reserve chapters, subchapters, or rule numbers. This is shown in the appropriate location within the text.
