Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 4372

Amends the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Provides that every final order under the Act shall contain a list of all parties of record to the case including the name and address of the agency or officer entering the order and the addresses of each party as known to the agency where the parties may be served with pleadings, notices, or service of process for any review or further proceedings. Provides that every final order shall also state whether the rules of the agency require any motion or request for reconsideration to make the decision reviewable under the Administrative Review Law and shall cite the rule for such requirement. Amends the Administrative Review Law of the Code of Civil Procedure. Provides that the Administrative Review Law shall be liberally construed in the interests of justice to grant an orderly method of judicial review of administrative agency decisions. Provides that service that is delivered to the official mailing address of the agency, board, or commission shall be deemed as proper service upon the agency, board, or commission even if the agency, board, or commission, or head of the agency, board, or commission, is misnamed. Makes corresponding changes. Provides that the changes apply to all actions filed under the Administrative Review Law on and after the effective date. Effective immediately.

In the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, provides that notice shall be served by, among other methods, electronic mail if agreed to by the parties. In the Administrative Review Law of the Code of Civil Procedure, removes language providing that service that is delivered to the official mailing address of the agency, board, or commission shall be deemed as proper service upon the agency, board, or commission even if the agency, board, or commission, or head of the agency, board, or commission, is misnamed. Provides that no action for administrative review shall be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction based upon the misnomer of an agency, board, commission, or party who is properly served with summons that was issued in the action within the applicable time limits (instead of "an agency, board, or commission, party who receives actual notice of the action within the applicable time limits"). Makes corresponding changes.
