Emergency Rulemaking before the State Housing Board 
on July 13, 2021

Motion:  

Emergency rule 2.5.3 is imperatively necessary to comply with a state law or for the preservation of public health, safety, or welfare, and compliance with the requirements of the State Administrative Procedure Act to conduct a rulemaking hearing would be contrary to the public interest for the following reason:

- to address the concern that the required Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) is tripping and interrupting the power supply to outdoor mechanical cooling equipment due to a non compatability issue with the manufactured equipment, which is a concern for human comfort and safety as we transition to summer and higher temperatures. 

The motion was passed unanimously by the State Housing Board to apply retroactively to June 9, 2021.
