Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

No rule, regulation or order, or any amendment thereof shall be effective until 10 days after the filing, provided, however, that upon the declaration of a disaster by the Governor as is described in Section 7 the provision relating to the effective date of any rule, regulation, order or amendment issued under this Act and during the state of disaster is abrogated, and the rule, regulation, order or amendment shall become effective immediately upon being filed with the Secretary of State accompanied by a certificate stating the reason as required by the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
    (b) Every emergency services and disaster agency established pursuant to this Act and the coordinators thereof shall execute and enforce the orders, rules and regulations as may be made by the Governor under authority of this Act. Each emergency services and disaster agency shall have available for inspection at its office all orders, rules and regulations made by the Governor, or under the Governor's authority. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency shall furnish on the Department's website the orders, rules and regulations to each such emergency services and disaster agency.
