<i>¹This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action enacting a new Section, the Section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 7-15-94 (after the 7-14-94 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 715:10-25-3 was no longer effective, and remained as such until added by permanent action on 7-25-94.</i>
