324.910. Rulemaking authority — duties of division. — 1. The division shall adopt, implement, rescind, amend, and administer such rules as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of sections 324.900 to 324.945. The division may promulgate necessary rules compatible with sections 324.900 to 324.945, including, but not limited to, rules relating to professional conduct, continuing competency requirements for the renewal of licenses, approval of continuing competency programs, and the establishment of ethical standards of business practice for persons holding a license pursuant to sections 324.900 to 324.945. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2017, shall be invalid and void.

2. For the purpose of sections 324.900 to 324.945, the division shall:

(1) Employ, within the limits of the appropriations for such purpose, employees as are necessary to carry out the provisions of sections 324.900 to 324.945;
