KANSAS COMMENT, 1973
This section provides for procedural rule-making by the attorney general with respect to internal operations of his office. Such regulations are to be governed by the general statute dealing with rules and regulations promulgated by the state agencies. There were no comparable provisions in the old Buyer Protection Act. Under this act, the attorney general has no substantive rule-making power.
