Sec. 9. (a) A rule adopted by the department of mental health concerning epilepsy services is valid and effective until the division of disability and rehabilitative services adopts a rule under IC 4-22-2 that:
(1) supersedes in whole or in part the department of mental health rule; or
(2) repeals the department of mental health rule.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), if a rule adopted by the department of mental health before January 1, 1992:
(1) has not been superseded or repealed as provided in subsection (a); and
(2) provides authority to the department of mental health that has been transferred to the division of disability and rehabilitative services under P.L.9-1991;
that rule shall be interpreted to constitute an authorization to the division of disability and rehabilitative services and not the department of mental health.
