monthly for the publication of new rules, any amendment, revision or

revocation of an existing rule, emergency rules, any notices of such

date of acceptance by the Secretary.

2. The Secretary shall cause a copy of each publication of "The

Oklahoma Register" to be sent to those county clerks who request it,

to members of the Legislature upon request, and to such other

agencies, libraries, and officials as the Secretary may select. The

Secretary may charge recipients of the publication a cost sufficient

303 of this title shall be published in "The Oklahoma Register"

prior to the adoption of a new rule, or amendment, revision or

revocation of any existing rule. The notice shall include the

information required by Section 303 of this title.
