HAS 6.14 (3) (a).
In addition, a definition is being created in s.
HAS 6.02, to define “full terms of sale" and “personal guarantee." The board is also creating several additional grounds for discipline of audiologists and speech-language pathologists in s.
HAS 6.18.
Additional minor and technical changes are being made to the rules for purposes of clarity, grammar, form, style and placement in the administrative code.
