Prior to issuing or reissuing sections of the merit system rules, the supervisor shall edit the rules and make the following, and only the following, changes:

A.

to correct spelling or typographical errors;

B.

to correct grammatical construction, but such changes shall not alter the interpretation, intent, or purpose of the rule;

C.

to correct exact quotations of statutes that are clearly identified by enclosure in quotation marks and by citation of statutory reference, when enactment of statutory amendments makes such action necessary to make the quotations true and accurate; and

D.

to renumber rules or rule references as necessary because of adoption of new rules or abolition of existing rules by the commissioner after proper notice and hearing.

Such changes shall not be deemed to be amendments to the rules, and each shall be reported to the commissioner before release of the material. Any changes not approved by the commissioner shall be excluded from the material to be released.
