Subject of Rules, Statutory Authority, and Agency Contact Person. The department's current rules regulate the permitting of migrant labor camps along with establishing requirements for siting, water supply, waste disposal, housing, heating, electricity, toilets, bathing, laundry, cooking and eating facilities, refuse disposal, insect and rodent control, and sleeping facilities. The department has reviewed these rules and found them to be out-of-date and in conflict with other state and federal laws.
