9 | Governor nor any agency or agency head under the jurisdiction | ||||||
10 | of the Governor has any authority to make or promulgate rules | ||||||
11 | to implement or enforce the provisions of this Act. If, | ||||||
12 | however, the Department believes that rules are necessary to | ||||||

14 | may suggest rules to the General Assembly by filing them with | ||||||
15 | the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate and by | ||||||
16 | requesting that the General Assembly authorize such rulemaking | ||||||
17 | by law, enact those suggested rules into law, or take any other | ||||||
18 | appropriate action in the General Assembly's discretion. | ||||||
19 | Nothing contained in this Act shall be interpreted to grant | ||||||
20 | rulemaking authority under any other Illinois statute where | ||||||
21 | such authority is not otherwise explicitly given. For the | ||||||
