The motion was seconded by Ms. Montemayor.... §291.33 - The Office of the Governor temporarily suspended the requirement in §291.33(c)(1)(B)(iii) to have in-person contact for patient [counseling]... §291.36 - The Office of the Governor temporarily suspended the requirement in §291.36(2) to obtain an inspection within the last [renewal period].
