§ 135. Rules and regulations. The commissioner is hereby authorized,
after public hearing, to adopt and promulgate such rules and regulations
to supplement and give full effect to the provisions of this article as
he may deem necessary, provided, that the commissioner may adopt and
promulgate, insofar as appropriate, without public hearing, any rules
and regulations promulgated under any federal act or acts or change or
amend the regulations promulgated hereunder so as to conform, insofar as
appropriate, to those promulgated under such federal act or acts. The
commissioner may, if he or she determines that the protection of the
consumers of the state is not impaired by such action, provide by
regulation for exemption from registration of small feed distributors
when he or she finds that such an exemption would avoid unnecessary
regulation and assist in the administration of the article without
impairing such article's purpose.
