Reviewer note: Order PDF sha256: 121d09cbdc09459b3524e94d520d651ffacfc5c51e70f726e2c14a5c2a90edb5. Extracted from the order's own text layer. One of several documents the Clerk publishes under order number 1988-03. | Set to in_review 2026-07-26: the order's subject looks practitioner-facing but the extracted text captured only recitals or an effective date, not the operative ORDERED section. This is an extraction defect, not a judgement that the order is unimportant — it needs re-extraction before it goes back on the published surface. | Re-extracted 2026-07-26 from the numbered paragraphs following the order's ORDERED clause, replacing a first pass that had captured recitals and the effective date. 2 further paragraph(s) were left out because their OCR is too corrupt to quote.
