Board of Pardons rules shall be processed according to state
rulemaking procedures. The Board shall determine if the rule is to be
submitted through the regular rulemaking or emergency rulemaking
procedure. Rules shall then be distributed as necessary.
Any error, defect, irregularity or variance in the application of
these rules which does not affect the substantial rights of a party
may be disregarded. Rules are to be interpreted with the interests of
public safety in mind so long as the rights of a party are not
substantially affected.
