    On page 3, line 36, after "(3)" insert "Within seven days after the rule is adopted, any person may petition the governor requesting the immediate repeal of a rule adopted on an emergency basis by any agency headed by a nonelected official.  Within seven days after submission of the petition, the governor shall either deny the petition in writing, stating his or her reasons for the denial, or order the immediate repeal of the rule.  In ruling on the petition, the governor shall consider only whether the conditions in subsection (1) of this section were met such that adoption of the rule on an emergency basis was necessary. If the governor orders the repeal of the emergency rule, any agency action based on that rule is void.

(4) In adopting an emergency rule, the agency shall meet the same criteria as set forth in section 4 of this act or provide written justification for its failure to provide the information.

(5)"
