Section 102.600  Revision of Proposed Regulations

a)         The Board may revise the proposed regulations before adoption upon its own motion or in response to suggestions made at hearing and in written comments made prior to second notice.  No additional hearing on the revisions need be held.

b)         Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Board may revise the proposed regulations after hearing in response to objections or suggestions made by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 5.40 and subsection (a) of Section 5.110 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.  The Board may make the revision where it finds:

1)         That such objections or suggestions relate to the statutory authority upon which the regulation is based, whether the regulation is in proper form, or whether adequate notice was given; and

2)         That the record before the Board is sufficient to support such a change without further hearing.  [415 ILCS 5/28(a)]
