Section 1044. Review of previously adopted rules.
   a.   Submission of previously adopted rules.
      1.   By the tenth day of August, nineteen hundred eighty-nine, each agency shall send to the corporation counsel a copy of each rule, as defined in subdivision five of section one thousand forty-one, in force as of the first day of January of nineteen hundred eighty-nine. Each such rule shall be identified by the agency as one of the following:
         (a)   a rule which should be continued in its present form;
         (b)   a rule which should be continued with amendments; or
         (c)   a rule which should be repealed.
      2.   Any amendment or repeal of a rule described in paragraph one of this subdivision, shall be subject to the provisions set forth in section one thousand forty-three.
   b.   In regard to all rules submitted pursuant to subdivision a of this section, the corporation counsel shall
      1.   include such rules in the Compilation required to be published pursuant to section one thousand forty-five; provided, however, that each rule which the agency identifies as a rule which should be continued but with amendments, and each rule which the agency identifies as a rule which should be repealed, shall be published in the Compilation with an appropriate notation as to the agency's comments and intentions. Such notations shall be provided for informational purposes only and such rule in its present form shall remain in full force and effect until and unless such rule is amended or repealed pursuant to the procedures set forth in section one thousand forty-three, and
      2.   submit to the City Record for publication by the first day of September, nineteen hundred ninety, a list of rules submitted pursuant to subdivisions a and e of this section, except for rules contained in the health code. Such list shall include for each rule a short descriptive title, as well as any available identifying names, numbers, adoption dates or similar information regarding such rule; and an indication of the agency's intention to continue such rule without amendments, to continue it with amendments or to repeal it.
   c.   No rule, as defined in subdivision five of section one thousand forty-one, which is in force as of the first day of January, nineteen hundred eighty-nine shall have any force or effect on or after the tenth day of August, nineteen hundred and eighty-nine unless it is submitted by the agency to the corporation counsel by such date.
   d.   Except as provided in subdivision e, no rule adopted by any agency prior to the effective date of this chapter shall have any force or effect after the first day of July, nineteen hundred ninety-one unless it is included in the Compilation required to be published by that date pursuant to section one thousand forty-five; provided however that in the case of an inadvertent failure to publish a rule in such Compilation, the rule shall become effective as of the date of its publication, if it is published within six months from the date the corporation counsel received notice of its omission, and further provided that any judicial or administrative action or proceeding, whether criminal or civil, commenced under or by virtue of any provision of a rule voided pursuant to this section and pending prior to such voidance, may be prosecuted and defended to final effect in the same manner as they might if such rule had not been so voided.
   e.   On or before a date one hundred eighty days after the publication date of the Compilation required to be published pursuant to section one thousand forty-five, any person may submit to the agency involved a copy or a description of a rule which such person believes to be in force as of the effective date of this chapter. Upon the receipt of a description or copy of such a rule, the agency shall endeavor to verify the existence of such rule and upon identifying such rule, if such rule was in force and effect as of the effective date of this chapter and has not been submitted to the corporation counsel pursuant to subdivision a of this section, the agency shall take the actions required pursuant to subdivision a of this section, and notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions c and d of this section, such rule shall remain in force and effect until or unless amended or repealed pursuant to section one thousand forty-three.
