7     (a) "Emergency" means the existence of any situation that
8 any agency finds reasonably constitutes a threat to the public
9 interest, safety, or welfare.
10     (b) If any agency finds that an emergency exists that
11 requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than is required by
12 Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
13 finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior
14 notice or hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking
15 with the Secretary of State under Section 5-70. The notice
16 shall include the text of the emergency rule and shall be
17 published in the Illinois Register. Consent orders or other
18 court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency may
19 be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable
20 constitutional or statutory provisions, an emergency rule
21 becomes effective immediately upon filing under Section 5-65 or
22 at a stated date less than 10 days thereafter. The agency's
23 finding and a statement of the specific reasons for the finding
24 shall be filed with the rule. The agency shall take reasonable
25 and appropriate measures to make emergency rules known to the

6 period, except that this limitation on the number of emergency
7 rules that may be adopted in a 24 month period does not apply
