Editor’s Note: Fee rules made under the Department’s exemption in Sections R21-9-202 and R21-9-207 were effective for two years under A.R.S. § 1008. Because these rules were temporary and were due to expire, the Department made fee rules by final rulemaking in Sections R21-9-202 and R21-9-207 at 24 A.A.R. 3275 (Supp. 18-4).

Editor’s Note: Chapter 9 contains rules which were exempt from the regular rulemaking process under Laws 2014, 2nd Special Session, Ch. 1, Sec. 158. The law required the Department to post on its website proposed exempt rulemakings for a minimum of 30 days, at which time the public could provide written comments. In addition, at least two public hearings were held prior to the filing of the final exempt rules. Because the Department solicited comments on its proposed exempt rules, the rules filed with the Office of the Secretary of State are considered final exempt rules (Supp. 15-4).
