If any officer required by this chapter to have an office has no regularly appointed deputy paid by the county at the same time and in the same manner as the principal, he may close his office during the hour from 12 o'clock noon to 1 o'clock p.m.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
