REVISION NOTE:
Document
#8183, effective 9-28-04, adopted, repealed, readopted
and renumbered, or readopted with amendments and renumbered most of the rules in
Chapter Fis 1100, some of which had expired.
The chapter has been re-named “Licenses and Permits” instead of
“Permits.” Document # 8183 also
renumbered, but did not readopt, existing rules Fis 1102.15 as Fis 1102.05, Fis
1102.20 as Fis 1102.08, and Fis 1102.21 as Fis 1102.09. Many rules in Document #8183 had formerly
been in Fis 1200, some of which had expired.
Document #8183 replaces all prior filings for rules in Chapter Fis 1100,
except for the existing rules Fis 1102.05, Fis 1102.08, and Fis 1102.09, which
retain their last effective date as indicated in the source notes.
If the rules in Document #8183 were
renumbered from former rules in Fis 1100 or Fis 1200, the source note cites the
former rule number after the effective date of Document #8183.
The prior filings for former Fis
1100, or former Fis 1200 rules now in Fis 1100, include the following documents:
