Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-1413: Regulations - Hearings - Notice

(a) The authority to promulgate regulations for the efficient

enforcement of this article is hereby vested in the State Board of

Health, which is hereby authorized to make regulations promulgated

under this article conform, insofar as practicable, with those

promulgated under the Federal Act.

(b) Hearings authorized or required by this article shall be

conducted by the State Commissioner of Health or such officer,

agent, or employee as the Commissioner may designate for the

purpose.

(c) Before promulgating any regulations contemplated by Section

1409(d), (e), (f), (g), (h), and (k) or 1412(b), the Board shall

give appropriate notice of the proposal and of the time and place

for a hearing. The regulation so promulgated shall become effective

on a date fixed by the Board (which date shall not be prior to

twenty (20) days after its promulgation). Such regulation may be

amended or repealed in the same manner as is provided for its

adoption, except that in the case of a regulation amending or

repealing such regulation the Board, to such extent as it deems

necessary in order to prevent undue hardship, may disregard the

foregoing provisions regarding notice, hearing or effective date.
