When determining whether or not to codify an unmarked change, the director shall consider: (a) whether the unmarked change is substantive or nonsubstantive; and(b) if the purpose of public notification has been adequately served.(5) The director's refusal to codify an unmarked change means that the change is not operative for the purposes of Section 63G-3-701 and that the agency must comply with regular rulemaking procedures to make the change.
