Thereafter, the regulation, containing an incorrect version of § 129.1602(6), was submitted to the Office of Attorney General and was reviewed and approved by the Office of Attorney General. On June 28, 2001, two copies of the Office of Attorney General-approved version were submitted to the office of the Pennsylvania Code and Bulletin. The Office of Attorney General-approved text was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on July 14, 2001.
