14.37 EFFECT OF PUBLICATION.
    Subdivision 1. State Register publication. The publication or citation of a rule or order
in the State Register in a manner as required by sections 14.001 to 14.69 raises a rebuttable
presumption that:
(1) the rule or order was duly adopted, issued, or promulgated;
(2) the rule or order was duly filed with the secretary of state and available for public
inspection at the day and hour endorsed thereon; and
(3) the copy of the rule or order published in the State Register is a true copy of the original.
Judicial notice shall be taken of material published in the State Register.
    Subd. 2. Compiled rules. The text of the rules in the first compilation published by
the revisor is prima facie evidence of the text of the rules as against any previous documents.
However, the previous documents may be used to construe the text of a rule. Except as provided in
section 14.47, subdivision 6, the compilation shall not be construed as repealing any unpublished
rule. The rules published in the compilation shall be construed as continuations of prior rules
and not as new rules.
Any subsequent compilation or supplement published by the revisor and containing
the revisor's certificate is prima facie evidence of the administrative rules in all courts and
proceedings. Except as provided in section 14.47, subdivision 6, a compilation or supplement shall
not be construed as repealing an unpublished rule. If there is any material inconsistency through
omission or otherwise between the first compilation, a subsequent compilation or supplement,
the State Register, and a rule filed with the secretary of state, and the omission or change was
not due to the provisions of section 14.47, subdivision 6 or the correction of an obvious error or
unintentional omission as required by subdivision 3, the rule filed with the secretary shall prevail.
