PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to add new language to clarify the exemption of spouses of members of the armed forces from renewal provisions.

SUMMARY: The rule amendment will add new language to clarify the exemption of spouses of members of the armed forces from renewal provisions.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The rule is mandated by statute and the rule will not require ratification by the Legislature because all costs of the rule are required by the statute. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
