(2)  The executive director of the department may adopt emergency rules pursuant to s. 120.54 on behalf of the department when the effective date of a legislative change occurs sooner than 60 days after the close of a legislative session in which enacted and the change affects a tax rate or a collection or reporting procedure which affects a substantial number of dealers or persons subject to the tax change or procedure.
