     14.08 Approval of rule and rule form; costs. 

    (a) Two copies of a rule adopted pursuant to section 14.26 
 shall be submitted by the agency to the chief administrative law 
 judge.  The chief administrative law judge shall send one copy 
 of the rule to the revisor on the same day it is submitted by 
 the agency under section 14.26.  Within five days after receipt 
 of the rule, excluding weekends and holidays, the revisor shall 
 either return the rule with a certificate of approval of the 
 form of the rule to the chief administrative law judge or notify 
 the chief administrative law judge and the agency that the form 
 of the rule will not be approved.  

    If the chief administrative law judge disapproves a rule, 
 the agency may modify it and the agency shall submit two copies 
 of the modified rule to the chief administrative law judge who 
 shall send a copy to the revisor for approval as to form as 
 described in this paragraph. 

    (b) One copy of a rule adopted after a public hearing shall 
 be submitted by the agency to the revisor for approval of the 
 form of the rule.  Within five working days after receipt of the 
 rule, the revisor shall either return the rule with a 
 certificate of approval to the agency or notify the agency that 
 the form of the rule will not be approved.  

    (c) If the revisor refuses to approve the form of the rule, 
 the revisor's notice shall revise the rule so it is in the 
 correct form.  

    (d) The chief administrative law judge shall assess an 
 agency for the actual cost of processing rules under this 
 section.  Each agency shall include in its budget money to pay 
 the assessments.  Receipts from the assessment must be deposited 
 in the administrative hearings account created in section 14.54.
