mine]  OR WHICH WOULD CAUSE A REGULATED PERSON TO INCUR COSTS, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO FINANCIAL, PERSONNEL, CAPITAL, OPERATIONAL, AND MAIN-
TENANCE COSTS, OR OTHERWISE ACT IN A MANNER  MATERIALLY  DIFFERENT  THAN

tial  revision,  the  revised  text shall be compared to the text of the
rule for which a notice of proposed rule making  was  published  in  the
state  register;  provided,  however, if a notice of revised rule making
was previously published in the state register, the revised  text  shall
be  compared  to  the  revised  text for which the most recent notice of
revised rule making was published.
  S 2. Section 102 of the state administrative procedure act is  amended
by adding a new subdivision 12 to read as follows:
  12. "OFFICE" MEANS THE OFFICE FOR REGULATORY REFORM.
