"Peremptory Rule":  A rule or amendment necessitated by federal laws, federal rules, court orders or certain collective bargaining agreements which preclude compliance with the general rulemaking requirements of the Act as specified in Section 5-50 of the Act. (See Subpart G)

 

"Recodification":  The process of reassigning Code division labels to an existing Part while not changing substantive text.

The order of the Sections must still remain in strict numerical order, and, if the Part has Subparts, the Subparts must remain in strict alphabetical order and the Sections must remain in strict numerical order. Therefore, when more than six Sections are being renumbered within one Part, or when Sections within Subparts are renumbered into other Subparts thereby throwing off the strict alphabetical order of the Subparts or the strict numerical order of the Sections, recodification is required rather than renumbering. In this instance and for renumbering Sections of one Part to another Part or renumbering an entire Part to a new Part number, please refer to "Recodification".

 

"Repeal":  The process of rescinding (revoking, canceling) a rule.

"Secretary of State":  The Administrative Code Division, a division of the Index Department of the Secretary of State's office.

 

"Section":  A division of the Code; a rule which focuses on a single concept. A Section is a unit of a Part.

A maximum of four digits may be used after the decimal point to identify Sections of a Part. Expansion room should be left between Section numbers for future additions to the Part.

 

"Section Source Note":  A statement following a Section of a Part which indicates the last action (other than codification) on that Section unless that action was the original filing of the Part.  (See Section 100.330)

 

"Short Title":  A title of an Act, created within that Act, which should be used to identify that Act.  Whenever a short title is referenced, it shall not appear in quotation marks.

 

"Source Notes":  Statements containing the history of the rule including the current action. (See "Main Source Note" and "Section Source Note")

Section 100.120  Agencies Covered

 

All agencies of the executive, judicial and legislative branches of state government are subject to the rulemaking provisions of the IAPA except the Governor, the General Assembly, the Supreme and Appellate Courts and those agencies specifically exempted by legislation.  (See Sections 1-5 and 1-20 of the Act.)

 

(Source:  Amended at 17 Ill. Reg. 10414, effective July 1, 1993)

 

Section 100.130  Illinois Administrative Code Organization

 

a)         The Illinois Administrative Code is arranged by five major divisions:  Chapter, General Act, Part, Subpart, and Section. (See Section 100.110 for definitions of these divisions.)  There are 67 Chapters within the Code, each covering a broad subject area. These Chapters are listed in Section 100.140.

 

b)         Transition to ILAC Codification Scheme

 

1)         For purposes of accomplishing the codification change from the Ill. Adm. Code format to the ILAC format established in subsection (a) of this Section, the Index Department will consult with the affected agency, JCAR and LIS in determining the new codification scheme for that agency's rules and preparing file copies of the rules utilizing the new codification system.  The new ILAC designation will be published in the Illinois Register as a codification change under Section 100.150.  When the Notice of Codification Change has been published, the ILAC labeling system will become effective for the rules listed in that Notice.  Until the Notices of Codification Change are published, all rules shall continue to be cited using the Ill. Adm. Code format.

 

2)         Changes in rule language during the ILAC codification change will be nonsubstantive only, but may include updating Illinois statutory citations and Illinois Administrative Code cross-references.

 

3)         Statutory Authority Notes may be updated, reorganized or revised to indicate most accurately the precise statutory authority for the Part.

 

4)         When a Part is repealed, the Index Department will enter that Part into a Table of Repealed Parts that will be published along with other supplementary materials to the Code (indexes, etc.).  For two years after the date of a Part's repeal, the headings and Main Source Note will be maintained at that Part's location within the body of the Code.  After two years, the headings and Main Source Note will be removed from the body of the Code.

 

5)         As part of the ILAC codification change, the Table of Repealed Parts will be created and the headings and Main Source Notes of all Parts that have been repealed for more than 2 years will be removed from the body of the Code.

 

6)         If, during the transition to ILAC, the Index Department, in consultation with the affected agency and JCAR, determines that a single existing Part is based equally on more than one statute, ILAC numbers may be assigned reflecting each of the authorizing Acts.  The text of the rule shall not be repeated at multiple locations; rather, all but one ILAC location shall contain an agency note cross-referencing the location of the actual rule text.

 

7)         The Index Department will establish a standard policy for assigning ILAC designations to any Part that is authorized by federal statute with no corresponding Illinois statutory authority.

 

8)         Updating of incorporations by reference is not a nonsubstantive change and shall not be accomplished within the ILAC codification change.

Section 100.140  Codification Outline

 

The 67 Chapters of the Code are listed below. If an agency does not know where its rules appear in the Code outline, it must contact the Index Department, which maintains a detailed outline including Chapters, General Acts, Parts and the agency to which these Parts are assigned.  In the first issue of the Illinois Register each year, the Index Department will publish the current outline, including numbering and headings, of Chapters, General Acts and Parts, identifying the agency adopting each Part.  Updated versions of the outline shall be available from the Index Department upon request throughout the year.

Corrections to the text of an agency's proposed rulemaking may be made on a Notice of Corrections to Proposed Rulemaking.  (See subsection (a) above and 100.Appendix A, Illustration D)

 

d)         Errors which are discovered in the file copy text following publication of the issue of the Register in which the notice of adopted rulemaking appeared shall be corrected by the agency through the general rulemaking process or by the expedited correction process (see Section 100.250).

 

e)         A Certificate and Notice of Expedited Correction shall be filed with the Index Department during normal business hours in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 100.250.

Section 100.315  Re-using Part or Section Numbers

 

After a Part has been filed with the Index Department and the Part is repealed in its entirety or recodified to another Part number, the Part number involved shall not be used again for a period of two years if the subject matter has totally changed. If an agency repeals some but not all of the Sections in an existing Part, those Section numbers may be re-used immediately, even if the subject matter totally changes, although the Index Department recommends that different Section numbers be used in order to avoid confusion.

 

(Source:  Amended at 18 Ill. Reg. 13067, effective August 11, 1994)

 

Section 100.320  Authority Note

 

a)         Each Part adopted shall include an authority note.  The authority note shall indicate both of the following types of authorities in the order in which they are listed below:

 

1)         Authority being implemented

The specific state statutes, federal laws or rules (or sections thereof) which the rules are implementing, interpreting, or applying.  This is often a statute establishing a specific program administered by the agency and it may be the same as the authorizing statute.  Multiple citations shall be used when necessary.  A state statute shall always appear as well as any federal laws or rules.

 

2)         Authority to Promulgate Rules

The specific state statute which authorizes the agency to adopt the rules, if not contained in the Act which the rules are implementing.  This is often a section of the enabling Act of the agency or the Act creating the agency and may be implied.  Occasionally, an Executive Order of the Governor may contain an agency's authorization to promulgate rules.

 

b)         Citations to state statutes shall include both the name of the Act and an Illinois Compiled Statutes citation (and/or the P.A. number and effective date if the P.A. has not yet been published).  Citations to federal laws shall include both the name of the law and either the U.S.C. or U.S.C.A. citation (and/or the P.L. number and the effective date if the P.L. has not yet been published in the U.S.C.).  Citations to federal rules shall include both the name of the rules and the CFR or FR citation.  Please refer to the Style Manual for examples of all statutory citations.

 

c)         For information on statutory citations, please see Section 100.380(c) and (d).

 

d)         The authority note for each Part shall be located one double-space below the last entry in the table of contents and shall be single-spaced.

 

e)         Authority notes are supplemental references which are intended to be used for the convenience of the reader.  They are not rules and do not have the force of law.  Failure to cite a statute in an authority note shall not be construed to deprive an agency of any rulemaking authority that the statute contains.

 

f)         Examples of authority notes are contained in the Style Manual.

 

(Source:  Amended at 17 Ill. Reg. 10414, effective July 1, 1993)

 

Section 100.330  Source Notes

 

a)         Each Part adopted in compliance with this Part shall include appropriate source notes. The two types of source notes are:  main source notes and Section source notes.

 

1)         The main source note shall indicate the location in the Illinois Register of the notice of adoption and the effective date.  It shall also include Register citations for amendments to the Part subsequent to the rules' original adoption.  Main source notes are cumulative.  The main source note shall be located one double-space below the authority note and shall be single-spaced.

 

2)         A Section source note shall indicate the Register citation for the last action on that Section subsequent to the original adoption.  Codification action shall not be indicated in a Section source note.  Section source notes appear one double-space below the last sentence of the Section and shall be single-spaced, and indented five spaces from the left margin.

 

b)         Main source notes indicate to the public when the Part was adopted or amended and where the notice of the adoption may be found.  Normally, only citations to the Illinois Register shall be indicated in the main source note and Section source notes, although amendment dates prior to Illinois Register publication shall be included only if specifically requested by the agency.  The following situations are exceptions to this provision:

 

1)         If a new Part is being adopted, the main source note shall have blank spaces for the volume, page number of the Register, and the effective date.

 

2)         If the set of rules was adopted prior to the publication of the Illinois Register, the main source note should indicate the exact title of the set of rules as it was adopted (if that title has changed significantly in codification), the date filed, and the effective date.

 

c)         The agency may also supply additional information in the source note to clarify the origin of the rules.  For example, an agency may indicate the resolution, general order, or docket number used in the adoption of the rules; however, such numbers alone are insufficient.

 

d)         When an agency drafts rules or amendments, regardless of the type of rulemaking occurring (proposed, adopted, emergency, peremptory or expedited correction), the source note shall specify the action, a Register citation with blanks left for the volume number of the Register, the page number on which the Notice of Adoption will appear and a blank for the effective date.  Failure by an agency to include these items will necessitate the return of the rules to the agency for corrections prior to their being published in the Illinois Register or filed in the Index Department.

 

e)         For examples of main source notes and Section source notes, please refer to the Style Manual.

Section 100.335  Automatic Repeal of Rules

 

a)         An agency may provide for the automatic repeal of a rule by specifying in the text the date (including month, day and year) of the automatic repeal.

 

1)         Such Automatic repeal shall not be used to repeal or amend existing Sections on file in the Index Department, but shall be used only for new Sections or in a new Part.

 

2)         Each Section of a Part which is to be automatically repealed must specify the repeal date in the text.

 

b)         Pursuant to Section 5-55 of the IAPA, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the effective date of the repeal, the agency shall publish notice of the repeal in the Illinois Register.  Such notice shall meet the requirements for Illinois Register publication specified in Section 100.220 and 100.Appendix B, Illustration E: and

 

1)         for rules adopted through the general rulemaking process, as specified in Section 5-40 of the Act, 100.Appendix B, Illustration E; or

 

2)         for rules adopted through the peremptory rulemaking process as specified in Section 5-50 of the Act, 100.Appendix D, Illustration D.

 

c)         The notice specified in subsection (b) above shall contain the full text of the affected Sections, the complete table of contents for the Part indicating which Sections are being automatically repealed by adding the word "(Repealed)" immediately after the affected Section headings, the authority note, and the main source note for the Part including a citation to the Notice of Automatic Repeal.  Each affected Section must also contain the appropriate Section source note for the citation to the Notice of Automatic Repeal.

 

d)         At the same time the agency submits the notice and text required by subsection (b) above, it shall also submit one (1) original and two (2) copies of the complete table of contents for the Part including the authority and main source notes and the necessary replacement pages for the Sections being automatically repealed.  The replacement pages shall include the Code headings at the top of each page, the Section number and heading followed by the word "(Repealed)" and a Section source note to the citation for the automatic repeal.

 

e)         Should the agency fail to submit the notice of the repeal in the time frame specified in subsection (b) and the Act, the automatic repeal date as specified in the rule(s) is void and the agency will have to go through the general rulemaking process in order to repeal the rulemaking.  The 30 to 60 day period in which the notice is to be published in the Illinois Register requires the rule to appear in a published Register during that time period.

Section 100.340  Text of the Part; Subsections

 

a)         The text of each Part submitted for either publication or for filing shall be single-spaced.  However, a double-space shall appear between the Section heading and the first line of text and shall appear between the last line of one subsection and the first line of the next subsection.  For rules published in the Illinois Register, the Section number and heading of the first Section being published shall appear one double-space below the main source note.  For rules filed with the Index Department as adopted, the first Section shall appear on the next page following the main source note and each subsequent Section shall begin on a new page.

 

b)         Subsections shall be identified as indicated in the following format.

 

1)         First level of subsection:  Use a), b), c), etc.

 

2)         Second level of subsection:  Use 1), 2), 3), etc.

 

3)         Third level of subsection:  Use A), B), C), etc.

 

4)         Fourth level of subsection:  Use i), ii), iii), etc.

 

c)         A single paragraph within a Section is not labeled as a subsection. An opening paragraph (prior to labeled subsections or indented items such as addresses, formulas, or definitions) is allowed.

 

d)         Subsections beyond the fourth level are not allowed. Sections which contain further subsections must be divided into separate Sections.

 

e)         Sections which consist of definitions of various terms in alphabetical order shall not include a subsection label for each definition, but the definitions must be indented as if they were being labeled.  (For example, definitions in alphabetical order which would be labeled at the first indent level shall appear, unlabeled, with each line of text beginning two inches from the left hand edge of the page.)  There shall be only one definitions Section per Part except that each Subpart may have a definitions Section.  This Section should be the first Section within the specified codification division.  Definitions may appear in the text of other Sections if necessary to explain that particular Section or subsequent Sections in that Part or Subpart.  Other lists within Sections (for example, a list of recommended library books) may be arranged alphabetically without subsection labels but must be indented properly.  Lists of definitions or other items, if not in alphabetical order, must be labeled.

 

f)         When dividing a Section into subsections, do not use an a) without a b), a 1) without a 2), etc.  However, in labeling a single Appendix, Exhibit, Illustration, or Table, the label "A" shall appear.

 

g)         When referring to one or more subsections within the text of a subsection, the subsection label must be enclosed in parentheses.

 

h)         Numbered or lettered phrases within a subsection are not allowed. Such numbered phrases must be indented to the proper level and labeled appropriately.

 

i)          Since the codification system shall be compatible with electronic data processing equipment and programs maintained by and for the General Assembly (Section 5-80 of the Act), the Section symbol, subscript or superscript letters, the division symbol, the delta symbol, the square root symbol, and other similar signs and symbols, are not allowed within the text of an agency's rules.  If an agency determines that a formula containing such symbols is necessary within the text of its rules and cannot write the formula in words rather than in symbols, the agency shall give a camera-ready copy of the formula to the Index Department to be used to scan into the rules for publication in the Illinois Administrative Code.  If an agency determines that a sign or symbol not specified in this subsection must be included in the rule, the agency must contact the Index Department to determine if it can be used prior to submitting the proposed rules for Register publication.

 

j)          All acronyms, abbreviations, initials, and shortened forms which an agency   wishes to use in the text of its rules must be spelled out in full the first time within each Part the reference appears with the acronym, abbreviation, initials or shortened form placed immediately thereafter in parentheses.  (A definitions Section at the beginning of each Part is preferable.)  The agency may then use the acronym, abbreviation, initials or shortened form throughout the remainder of the Part.  This does not include the list of standard abbreviations shown in subsection (k) below.

 

k)         Listed below are standard abbreviations and their meanings which do not have to be spelled out in an agency's rules as specified in subsection (j) above.  If an agency wishes to use one of these abbreviations but wishes to attach a different meaning to it, it must follow the procedures outlined in subsection (j) above.

 

1)         All two letter abbreviations for the 50 states as designated by the United States Postal Service are allowed.

 

2)         All chemical abbreviations for the elements are allowed.

Section 100.345  Renumbering Sections within a Part

 

No more than six (6) Sections can be renumbered within a Part without being recodified.  When renumbering Sections within a Part:

 

a)         The Part's table of contents shall show the following:

 

1)         If no text remains at the Old Section number,

 

A)        the Section number and heading remain and shall not have strike-outs but the word "(Renumbered)" shall be underscored at the end of the Section heading.

 

B)        the new Section, to which the old Section is being renumbered, shall appear in the correct numerical order with the old number shown with strike-outs and the new number and heading underscored.

 

2)         If new text is being adopted at the old Section number,

 

A)        the new heading (which shall be underscored) shall appear after the former heading (which shall have strike-outs).

 

B)        The new Section, to which the old Section is being renumbered, shall appear in numerical order with the old number shown with strike-outs and the new number and heading underscored.

 

b)         The text of the Part shall show the following:

 

1)         If the Section being renumbered is not being replaced by new text:

 

A)        the old Section number and heading as it is currently on file shall appear in the correct numerical order with the word "(Renumbered)" underscored at the end of the Section heading.  No text shall appear here but a Section source note indicating the Section's new location, the Register citation, and effective date shall appear.

 

B)        the new Section, to which the old Section is being renumbered, shall appear in numerical order with the old number shown with strike-outs and the new number and heading underscored.  The text of the Section shall appear here and, if any amendments are being made to the text, they shall be indicated by strike-outs and/or underscoring.  A Section source note indicating from where the Section was renumbered and whether the Section is being amended, the Register Citation and effective date shall also appear.

 

2)         If the Section being renumbered is being replaced by new text:

 

A)        the Section number shall appear followed by the old heading with strike-outs and the new heading with underscoring.  The new text shall be shown with underscoring and an appropriate Section source note indicating the new location of the former text, the new text being adopted, the Register citation and effective date shall also appear.  The old text does not appear at the old number.

 

B)        in numerical order where the new Section appears, the procedures outlined in subsection (b)(1)(B) shall be followed.

 

c)           Only entire Sections may be renumbered.  If an agency wishes to split one Section into two or more Sections or combine several Sections into one Section, recodification of the Part is required.  (See Sections 100.1100 and 100.1110)

Section 100.350  Supplementary Material

 

a)         Tabular materials, illustrations, diagrams, figures and other supplementary material included in a Part should be placed at the end of the Part and labeled as Appendices, Exhibits, Illustrations or Tables.  Such materials should be used only when an agency deems them necessary; rules shall be in explanatory form whenever possible.  Supplementary materials included in a Part filed with the Index Department shall be considered part of the rules and should be referred to within the text of the Part.

 

b)         Any Appendices, Exhibits, Illustrations or Tables appearing at the end of the Part shall be included in the Part's table of contents.  Such supplementary materials shall be identified with capital letters unless it is a subsection.  If there is a subsection, it shall not include the Part number but shall be indented five (5) spaces below the Section.

 

1)         An Appendix is generally in prose format and does not contain illustrations, tables, or other diagrams or drawings.  If it is necessary for an Appendix to contain illustrations, tables or other diagrams or drawings, each illustration, table or diagram shall be labeled individually and shall become subsections of the Appendix.

 

2)         A small Table may be contained within a Section as long as it fits within the text margins of the subsection in which it appears.  In such a case, the Table is not labeled, but may have a heading.  If the Table is larger than the subsection margins allow, the Table must be placed at the end of the Part and labeled with capital letters.  An agency should either delete the Table from its rule through the general rulemaking process or must submit to the Administrative Code Division a camera-ready copy of the Table which will fit, with the applicable margin requirements, on an 8½ x 11 inch sheet of paper.

 

3)         Forms should be avoided. (See Section 1-70 of the Act.)  References to the forms within the text of the Part should be by form number or heading and should be incorporated into an Exhibit for explanatory reasons only.

 

4)         An Illustration is a diagram or drawing. In those cases where the Illustrations cannot be entered into the data base, the agency must submit to the Index Department a camera-ready copy of the Illustration; such copy must fit within the margin requirements as outlined in this Part both for filing and for Illinois Register publication. (Refer to Sections 100.220(a)(3) and 100.500(a))

 

c)         A maximum of 10 Illustrations, Appendices, Tables, or Exhibits may be used in each Part unless used in combination with one another.  If an Appendix, Exhibit, Illustration or Table has subsections labeled with one or more of the remaining three terms, it shall have no text of its own.

 

d)         Pursuant to Section 100.310(a)(4)(B), all supplementary material shall be legible even when reduced by 50% for Register publication, shall fit within the applicable margin requirements, and shall be upright on the page.

 

e)         Whenever an agency adopts a rule containing material which cannot be entered into the computer data base, the agency shall prepare a master original of the material (photocopies are not allowed) for the Index Department's files.

a)         For the purpose of this Part, underlying data is defined as any data, including written information or material, statistics, measurements, calculations or other information used as the basis for reasoning, recommendation or conclusions, including any information provided to the promulgating agency by a consultant, vendor or other third party under contract with the agency that was used as the basis for a published study or report used in the development of the rule.

 

b)         Any published study or report used in developing the rule shall be identified on the Notice Page for the rulemaking by a descriptive title or other description, the identity of the person or entity that performed the study or report, the publisher's name and publication date, and a description of where the public may obtain a copy of the study or report.

 

c)         If the published study or report was performed by an agency or by a person or entity that contracted with the agency for the performance of the study or report, in addition to identifying the study or report, the agency shall also make copies of the underlying data available to members of the public upon request, if the data are not protected from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act [5 ILCS 140].  If the agency must pay a fee to a contracting entity to obtain a copy of the underlying data, the agency may charge the requester a fee equaling the cost of obtaining the data.  This fee shall reflect actual costs incurred by the agency.

Section 100.380  Statutory Language and Statutory Citations

 

a)         Rules shall not unnecessarily repeat statutory language.  Whenever it is necessary to repeat or paraphrase statutory language in a rule, it shall appear in distinguishing type.  Italic type is expressly reserved for statutory language.

 

b)         If it is necessary for an agency to use a type other than italic for statutory language, a statement as to what type is used must be made immediately after the main source note.  Underscoring is not considered to be distinguishing type because it is expressly reserved for added language in rules published in the Illinois Register.

 

c)         Citations to statutes must be included immediately after the quotation or paraphrase as specified in Section 100.385.  However, in the event that the Section of the Act being quoted has already been cited earlier in the Part, the agency shall only specify the Section and the title of the Act in which the quotation appears.

1)         The material being incorporated by reference must be identified by location and date and must state that no later editions or amendments are included.

 

2)         The agency shall maintain in its principal office a copy of the full text of adopted rules including standards or rules incorporated by reference.

 

b)         If an agency cites Sections of a state or federal statute or state or federal rule within the text of a Part, the specific statutory citation must be included immediately following the first mention of the statute or rule within the Part.  Thereafter, a citation to these particular Sections need not be repeated.

Section 100.390  Footnotes; Agency Notes; Editor's Notes

 

a)         Footnotes

An agency may include with its rules, as footnotes, the citations and brief digests of court cases and Attorney General's opinions.  Footnotes shall be numbered in sequence, and the text of such footnotes shall be at the bottom of the same page where the footnotes appear in the text of the rule.  Footnotes shall be the only notes allowed to be numbered in this manner.

 

b)         Agency notes

Occasionally an agency may need to explain something within the text of its rules; such explanation may not fit the normal format for codification.  In such instances, an agency note may appear.  The use of agency notes is discouraged.  If the use of such a note is necessary, the agency shall contact the Index Department for the proper procedure prior to proposing rules or amendments, or prior to adopting emergency or peremptory rules or amendments, containing agency notes, since agency notes may take several forms.  In addition, agency notes shall fit within the margin requirements of the subsections to which they refer, and shall not be labeled except by "Agency Note" unless otherwise authorized by the Index Department, and shall not contain either subsections or lettered or numbered phrases.  Any agency notes included in an agency's rules are considered part of the rule and must be adopted, amended, or repealed in the same manner as the rules.

 

c)         Editor's notes

Occasionally, in codification, the Administrative Code Division may add an editor's note which cross references the rules of two or more agencies, explains a particular way the rule was codified or explains Administrative Code database style.  The Index Department is the only agency allowed to add editor's notes to a rule since the Department is the Editor of the Illinois Administrative Code.  Such notes are not part of the rule but are used solely for informational purposes to aid the reader.

 

(Source:  Amended at 18 Ill. Reg. 13067, effective August 11, 1995)

 

Section 100.400  Required Notice Periods

 

a)         There are two notice periods required in rulemaking, pursuant to Section 5-40 of the IAPA:

 

1)         The first notice period is at least 45 days in length from the date the proposed rules appear in the Illinois Register.  During this first notice period, the agency must allow interested persons who submit a request to comment during the first 14 days of the notice period reasonable opportunity to comment on the proposed rule.  Request to comment may be submitted either orally or in writing at the agency's discretion.  If a public hearing is to be held on the proposed rule, and notice of such does not appear on the Notice of Proposed Rules (Amendments, Repealers) published in the Register, the agency may submit a Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Rules for Register publication.  (See 100.Appendix A, Illustration E)  This Notice must meet the publication requirements outlined in Section 100.220.

 

2)         The second notice period begins on the day JCAR receives written notice from the agency and expires 45 days later unless, prior to that time, the agency and JCAR have agreed to extend the second notice period beyond 45 days for a period not to exceed an additional 45 days or the agency receives either a statement of objection from JCAR or notification that no objection will be raised.  (See 1 Ill. Adm. Code 220 for information on submitting rules to JCAR for the second notice period.)

 

b)         No more than one year may elapse from the date the proposed rule appeared in the Illinois Register until the date the rule is adopted or filed with the Index Department.  Should more than one year elapse, such rule shall not be adopted or filed with the Index Department. (See Section 5-40(e) of the Act)  For example, if a proposed rule appears in the Illinois Register on March 1 of one year, it lapses on February 28 or February 29 of the following year unless February 28 or February 29 falls on a holiday or a weekend, in which case the lapsed time would be the following day.

Section 100.410  Notice of Proposed Rules

 

a)         Each proposed rule (amendment, repealer) submitted for publication in the Illinois Register (see Section 100.220) must be part of a Notice of Proposed Rules (Amendments, Repealers) using a form provided by the Index Department at the beginning of which the information listed in subsections (a)(1) through (16) shall appear (see also Appendix A, Illustration A).  The next page shall be the full text of the rules, amendments, or repealer and, if the proposal is an amendment to or repeal of an existing Part, the text shall appear as it is on file in the Index Department with all changes indicated by strike-outs and/or underscoring (however, if an entire Part is being repealed, the text is printed without strike-outs and if a new Part is being proposed the text appears without underscoring):  

 

1)         The heading of the Part;

 

2)         The Code citation (include only the Chapter number, the Code abbreviation, the General Act Number followed by a colon and the Part number);

 

3)         Section Numbers                                     Proposed Action

 

(list in numerical order)                           (new Section, amendment,

(include supplementary material)            repeal, renumber, etc.)

 

4)         The specific statutory citation upon which the Part is based and authorized;

 

5)         A complete description of the subjects and issues involved;

 

6)         Any published studies or reports, along with the sources of underlying data, that were used when composing this rulemaking, in accordance with 1 Ill. Adm. Code 100.355;

 

7)         Whether the proposed rule will replace an emergency rule currently in effect;

 

8)         Whether the proposed rule contains an automatic repeal date;

 

9)         Whether the proposed rule (amendment, repealer) contains incorporations by reference;

 

10)       Whether there are any other amendments to this Part, other than those appearing in the same Register issue, pending.  If so, specify the Section numbers, the proposed action, and a Register citation to the Notice of proposal;

 

11)       A Statement of Statewide Policy Objectives (See Sections 100.110 and 100.415(b));

 

12)       The time, place and manner in which interested persons may present their views concerning the proposed action, and the name, address and phone number of the individual within the agency who may be contacted; and

 

13)       Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (see "Regulatory Flexibility Analysis", Section 100.110):

 

A)        Description of the type of small businesses (see Section 1-75 of the Act), small municipalities (see Section 1-80 of the Act) and not for profit corporations (see Section 1-85 of the Act) subject to the proposed rule (amendment, repealer).

 

B)        Description of the proposed reporting, bookkeeping and other procedures required for compliance with the rule (amendment, repealer).

 

C)        Description of types of professional skills necessary for compliance.

 

14)       Small Business Economic Impact Analysis:

Determine whether the rulemaking has an adverse impact on small business (fewer than 50 full-time employees or less than $4,000,000 in gross annual sales). An adverse impact is one that can be reasonably foreseen on small businesses including, but not limited to, a loss of customers, loss of revenue, or increased business expenses. If the rulemaking has an adverse impact on small business), the agency must provide an economic impact analysis including:

 

A)        An identification of the types of businesses subject to the proposed rule using the 2-digit codes from the North American Industry Classification System.

 

B)        The estimated number of small businesses subject to the proposed rule (amendment, repealer).

 

C)        An identification of the adverse impact of the proposed rule (amendment, repealer) by identifying as many of the following categories that the agency reasonably believes the proposed rule (amendment, repealer) will impact:

 

i.          hiring and additional staffing;

ii.         regulatory requirements;

iii.        purchasing;

iv.        insurance charges;

v.         licensing fees;

vi.        equipment and material needs;

vii.       training requirements;

viii.      record keeping;

ix.        compensation and benefits; or

x.         other potential impacted categories.  (please describe below)

 

D)        The projected reporting, recordkeeping and other administrative costs for compliance with the proposed rule (amendment, repealer).

 

E)        The type of professional skills necessary for preparation of any report or record required for compliance with the proposed rule (amendment, repealer).

 

F)         A statement of probable positive or negative economic effect on small business.

 

G)        A description of any less intrusive or costly alternative method of achieving the purpose of the rule (amendment, repealer).

 

15)       Whether the rulemaking was summarized in a previous Regulatory Agenda.  The Regulatory Agenda in which the rulemaking was summarized shall be indicated by the month (January or July) and year it was published.  The agency must provide an explanation in this area if the rulemaking was not included on either of the two most recent agendas.

 

16)       Any other information or justification for the proposed rule (amendment, repealer) that the agency believes would be helpful to the public regarding the proposed rule (amendment, repealer). For example, a discussion or analysis of the benefits of the proposed rule (amendment, repealer) is projected to have on the Illinois public, consumers, investors or other similar groups.

 

b)         Under the Section Numbers and Proposed Action columns at the beginning of the Notice of Proposed Rules as described above in subsection (a)(3) of this Section shall be listed the specific Section Numbers in numerical order and the specific action being taken.  If several actions are occurring, each Section affected must be listed on a separate line with the appropriate action listed on the same line under the correct column.  This enables the Code Division staff to accurately compile the Sections Affected Index for each week's Register on a quarterly basis.  Appendices, Exhibits, Illustrations and Tables on which rulemaking activity is occurring must also be listed under these columns.

 

c)         Only one Part shall be listed per Notice. All new Sections, amendments to existing Sections, and/or repealers of Sections shall be contained on this Notice.  Only one Notice per Part for proposed rules will be accepted by the Index Department for publication in a single issue of the Register, unless the agency is repealing a Part in its entirety and proposing a new Part to replace the repealed Part (same subject matter).  In this instance only, the Index Department will accept two Notices of proposed rulemaking for one Part number, one for the proposed repealer and one for the proposed new Part, for publication in the same issue of the Register.

 

d)         If an agency is proposing, amending, or repealing more than one Section, and the agency wishes to have any of the Sections considered as separate rulemakings, the agency shall specify the statutory authority for each separate rulemaking.  The agency shall follow the procedure in Section 100.410(a)(1) through (a)(14) and, if necessary, specify different people to be contacted for each separate rulemaking.  This procedure permits an agency to take those portions of the rulemaking into second notice separately or adopt those portions of the Part at different times.

 

e)         If an agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed rules, the information on the hearing may be included in the Time, Place, and Manner item on the Notice (subsection (a)(12)) or the agency may submit a Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Rules as shown in Appendix A, Illustration E.  Notice for public hearings on proposed rules will be accepted for Register publication unless a notice for another type of public hearing is required by State statute to be published in the Register.

2)         Prior to or during the first notice period, if the agency or the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs determines that there is an impact on small businesses, not for profit corporations or small municipalities the agency shall provide additional notices to the impacted entities by using one or more of the following, pursuant to Section 5-30(b) of the Act:

 

A)        The inclusion in any advance notice of possible rulemaking of a statement that the rule may have an impact on small businesses, not for profit corporations, or small municipalities.

 

B)        The publication of a notice of rulemaking in publications likely to be obtained by small businesses, not for profit corporations, or small municipalities.

 

C)        The direct notification of interested small businesses, not for profit corporations, or small municipalities.

 

D)        The conduct of public hearings concerning the impact of the rule on small businesses, not for profit corporations, or small municipalities.

 

E)        The use of special hearing or comment procedures to reduce the cost or complexity of participation in the rulemaking by small businesses, not for profit corporations, or small municipalities.

 

3)         During the first notice period, the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs, if it determines that the rulemaking will have an impact on small businesses, may complete a Regulatory Flexibility Notice to be published in the Illinois Register.

 

4)         Pursuant to Section 5-30 of the IAPA, the agency shall consider the impact of the rulemaking on small businesses, not for profit corporations, or small municipalities, using as guidelines Section 5-30(a)(1) through (5) of the IAPA.

 

5)         Agencies shall include the initial regulatory flexibility analysis on the Notice of Proposed Rules (Amendments, Repealers) for Illinois Register publication and a final regulatory flexibility analysis when submitting the proposed rule(s) to JCAR for the second notice period.  If an agency determines that its rulemaking does not affect small businesses, not for profit corporations or small municipalities, it shall so state on the Notice of Proposed Rules (Amendments, Repealer). The term "n/a" shall not be accepted.

 

b)         Statement of Statewide Policy Objectives

Section 100.440  Notice of Modification, Withdrawal, or Refusal to Modify or Withdraw a Rule

 

a)         When an agency elects to modify or withdraw, or refuses to modify or withdraw a proposed rule in response to the objections of JCAR, the agency shall submit a Notice of Modification, Withdrawal, or Refusal to Modify or Withdraw a Rule to be published in the Register (See 100.Appendix A, Illustration C).  An agency may withdraw a proposed rulemaking (cease rulemaking activity on that proposal) without having a JCAR objection by publishing a Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules in the Register.  (See 100.Appendix A, Illustration B)  Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules (Amendments, Repealer), whether in response to a JCAR objection or not, shall be for the entire rulemaking proposed unless, pursuant to Section 100.410(d), the agency has divided the proposal into several rulemakings.  If JCAR issues an objection on a proposed rule, amendment or repealer, the agency must respond to the objection directly to JCAR within 90 days of the receipt of the statement of objection.  Failure to do so shall constitute withdrawal of the proposed rule, amendment or repealer and JCAR shall submit a notice to that effect in the next available issue of the Illinois Register.  The agency response to JCAR's objection shall be published in the Register, preferably within the 90-day period as specified above.

 

b)         If an agency response to a JCAR objection takes more than one type of action (that is, modifies and/or withdraws and/or refuses to modify or withdraw), the heading on the Notice shall state the actions taken:  

 

1)         If the agency is withdrawing one or more Sections or portions thereof and modifying one or more Sections or portions thereof, the action heading shall state "Notice of Withdrawal and Modification to Meet the Objections of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules".  It shall be noted, however, that withdrawal of one or more Sections in one particular rulemaking constitutes withdrawal of all Sections in that rulemaking.  This Notice of Withdrawal and Modification may only be used when one entire rulemaking on a Part is being withdrawn and another entire rulemaking is being modified.

 

2)         If the agency is withdrawing one or more Sections or portions thereof and refusing to modify or withdraw one or more Sections or portions thereof, the action heading shall state "Notice of Withdrawal and Refusal to Modify or Withdraw to Meet the Objections of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules".  (See also the information concerning withdrawal of rules in subsection (1) above.)

 

3)         If the agency is modifying one or more Sections or portions thereof and refusing to modify or withdraw one or more Sections or portions thereof, the action heading shall state "Notice of Modification and Refusal to Modify or Withdraw to Meet the Objections of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules".

 

4)         If the agency is taking all three actions, the action heading shall state "Notice of Withdrawal, Modification, and Refusal to Modify or Withdraw to Meet the Objections of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules". (Also refer to the information concerning withdrawal in subsection (1) above.)

 

c)         On the Notice of Withdrawal (Modification, Refusal to Modify or Withdraw) to Meet the Objections of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, the agency shall, under "Action," state the specific action being taken in response to the objection, i.e. withdrawal, modification or refusal to modify or withdraw.  (See 100.Appendix A, Illustration C.)

 

d)         An agency may withdraw a proposed rule without a JCAR objection by publishing a Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules, Amendments or Repealer. (See 100.Appendix A, Illustration B.)

 

e)         Publication of a Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules, Amendments, or Repealer constitutes withdrawal of the entire rulemaking.  However, if the agency has split the action on a Part into several rulemakings pursuant to Section 100.410(d), the agency may elect to withdraw only one of the rulemakings, but that rulemaking shall be withdrawn in its entirety.  This Notice is to be used only when withdrawing rulemakings prior to and instead of submitting the rulemaking to JCAR for second notice.

 

f)         An agency which decides to withdraw one or more Sections from a proposed rulemaking due to comments received during the first notice period shall not publish a Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules, Amendments or Repealer) in the Illinois Register unless the Sections being withdrawn constitute the entire rulemaking.  Rather, when submitting the proposed rulemaking to JCAR for second notice, the agency shall specify this withdrawal as a change made to the proposed rulemaking during the first notice period.

 

g)         If an agency wishes to withdraw one or more Sections of a proposed rulemaking due to agreements made between the agency and JCAR during the second notice period, the agency shall not publish a separate Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules, Amendments or Repealer unless the withdrawal involves the entire rulemaking. Rather, the Sections being withdrawn shall be listed on the Notice of Adopted Rules, Amendments or Repealer as changes between proposal and adoption.
