    EXPLANATORY PREFACE

    This volume has been compiled and published in accordance with K.S.A. 77-430a and other appli-cable laws.

    ARRANGEMENT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS

    Administrative rules and regulations of the various state agencies are arranged in accordance with a three-part system of numbers divided by hyphens. The first number indicates the agency; the second num-ber indicates the article (a group of regulations of such agency upon the same subject); the last number indicates the specific section or regulation within the article. For example, ‘‘1-4-11’’ refers to agency No. 1, article No. 4 and section No. 11.

    The law requires that agencies cite the statutory authority for the regulation and the section(s) of the statutes which the regulation implements. This is published at the end of the text of the regulation. In ad-dition, the Secretary of State includes a history of the regulation which indicates the original effective date of the regulation and each subsequent amendment.

    COMMENTARY

    This volume has been compiled and published in accordance with K.S.A. 77-430a and other appli-cable laws.

    The 2016 Supplement contains rules and regulations filed after Dec. 31, 2008 and before Jan. 1, 2016. Regulations filed on and after Jan. 1, 2016 may be located by checking the Kansas Register, Kansas’ offi-cial state newspaper. An index appears at the back of each Kansas Register and lists the volume and page number of the Register that contains the most recent version of the particular regulation. To receive a copy or subscribe to the Kansas Register, write to the Secretary of State’s Office, Kansas Register, First Floor, Memorial Hall, 120 SW 10th Ave., Topeka, KS 66612, or call (785) 296-0082.

    The history at the end of each regulation cites the authorizing and implementing statute(s). Any subse-quent action follows. For example, in ‘‘amended, T-7-12-11-90, Dec. 31, 1990’’ the ‘‘T’’ means temporary, the ‘‘7’’ is the number assigned to the agency in the K.A.R. volumes, and 12-11-90 is the date that the regulation was filed. Following the last comma is the effective date. Therefore, the amendment was filed as a temporary regulation on Dec. 11, 1990 and the amendment became effective on Dec. 31, 1990. If the ‘‘T number’’ is not included in an action on a regulation, the regulation was filed as a permanent regula-tion. A temporary regulation becomes effective upon approval by the State Rules and Regulations Board and filing in the Secretary of State’s Office or at a later date when specified in the body of the regulation. A temporary regulation lasts 120 days unless it is amended or revoked within 120 days. A permanent reg-ulation is effective 15 days following publication in the Kansas Register or at a later date specified in the body of the regulation. Prior to July 1, 1995, a permanent regulation became effective 45 days following publication in the Kansas Register or at a later date specified in the body of the regulation. The regulation remains in effect until amended or revoked.

    To find the most recent version of a regulation, first check the table of contents in the most current issue of the Kansas Register, then the Index to Regulations in the most current Kansas Register, next check the current K.A.R. Supplement, and finally check the current K.A.R. volume. If the regulation is found at any of these sequential steps, stop and consider that version the most recent.

    General Rules: Volumes replace earlier volumes. Supplements replace earlier supplements. Supplements are additions that ‘‘supplement’’ current volumes.

    For example, the 2016 Supplement supplements the 2009 Volumes. At printing, the current publications are the 2009 Kansas Administrative Regulations, Volumes 1-5, and the 2016 Supplement. The 2016 Sup-plement contains rules and regulations filed after Dec. 31, 2008 and before Jan. 1, 2016. Subsequent reg-ulations are published in the Kansas Register and found using the Kansas Register’s index to the K.A.R. When an individual volume is published, it replaces the same volume of an earlier year. For example, a 2009 Volume 2 would replace a 2006 Volume 2.

    Any questions regarding the K.A.R. may be directed to the Secretary of State’s Office by calling (785) 296-4564. Questions regarding the filing procedure may be directed to the Kansas Administrative Regula-tions Director at (785) 296-2114. For purchasing inquiries call (785) 368-6356. Questions concerning the subject matter of a regulation should be directed to the agency administering the regulation.
