In the event of imminent peril to public health, for how long is a temporary rule adopted by the board effective?

30 days
60 days
90 days
NTE 120 days

The correct answer is: NTE 120 days

A temporary rule adopted by the board in the event of imminent peril to public health is effective for "NTE 120 days," meaning no longer than 120 days. This allows the rule to be in place for as long as necessary to protect public health, but it also ensures that the rule does not remain in place longer than needed. The other options, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days, are incorrect because they all have fixed time limits that may not be long enough to effectively address the emergency and protect public health. Additionally, setting a specific time limit may not account for potential delays or further developments in the situation. Therefore, using the phrase "NTE 120 days" allows for flexibility and ensures that the temporary rule remains effective for as long as necessary.
