Common Errors in Replacement Pages

• Margins
• Cross Reference Table & New Rules
• Shifting rule text
• Footings/Page numbers
• Adding in text from the proposal and adoption notices
• Capitalization/Hyphenation
• Numbers

1. Margins:
   
   
• Top and bottom: .5
  
  
• left 1.5
  
  
• right .75
  
  
2. Cross Reference Table & New Rules:
   
   
• If a new rule was adopted, it must be added to the Cross Reference Table.
  
  
3. Shifting rule text:
   
   
• For all rules/pages: move rule text from page to page to keep sections with subsections, and try to keep rules together on one page.
  
  
• Fit as much text as possible on a page, but leave at least one inch of space above the footing to allow for future growth.
  
  
• Do not reserve pages in the middle of a rule.
  
  
• Do not split pages in midrule or midsentence.
  
  
4. Footings/Page numbers:
   
   
• An odd-numbered page must be a right-hand page.
  
  
• An even-numbered page must be a left-hand page.
  
  
• The "NEXT PAGE IS" cannot be to an even-numbered page.
  
  
• The footing must be at line 10.2, at the bottom of the page.
  
  
5. Adding in text from the proposal and adoption notices:
   
   
• It is imperative that all new (underlined) text from the proposal notice is added into the existing rule, and that interlined text is removed. Also, when a rule is changed in the adoption notice, it is crucial that those changes are also integrated, with the proposal notice changes, into the existing rule.
  
  
6. Capitalization/Hyphenation:
   
   
• In every rule, change capitalization to comply with the Gregg Reference Manual (326 and 335). For example, uppercase "Department of Administration".
  
  
• In every rule, remove hyphens from most words, such as "nonregulated" (Gregg 833 and 838).
  
7. Numbers:
   
   
• In every rule, change most numbers from 1 to 10 to one to ten, per the Gregg Reference Manual. See Gregg Section 4.
