227.27 Construction of administrative rules.

227.27(1)

(1) In construing rules, §§ 990.001, 990.01, 990.03 (1), (2) and (4), 990.04 and 990.06 apply in the same manner in which they apply to statutes, except that §§ 990.001 and 990.01 do not apply if the construction would produce a result that is inconsistent with the manifest intent of the agency.

227.27(2)

(2) The code shall be prima facie evidence in all courts and proceedings as provided by § 889.01, but this does not preclude reference to or, in case of a discrepancy, control over a rule filed with the legislative reference bureau or the secretary of state, and the certified copy of a rule shall also and in the same degree be prima facie evidence in all courts and proceedings.
