(1),
(2)and
(4), 990.04 and 990.06 apply in the same manner in which they apply to statutes, except that ss. 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.
(2)The code shall be prima facie evidence in all courts and proceedings as provided by s. 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 under s. 227.20 or modified under s. 227.265 , and the certified copy of a rule shall also and in the same degree be prima facie evidence in all courts and proceedings.
