The rules adopted under this subchapter must be identical to the federal housing habitability regulations promulgated to protect seasonal and migrant workers under the authority of the federal Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act. Rules adopted pursuant to this subchapter are routine technical rules as defined in Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II-A. [PL 1997, c. 387, §2 (NEW).]
