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.
(775 ILCS 5/8-103) (from Ch. 68, par. 8-103)
Sec. 8-103. Request for review.
(A) Jurisdiction. The Commission,
through a panel of 3 members, shall have jurisdiction to hear and
determine requests for review of (1) decisions of the Department to dismiss
a charge; and (2) notices of default issued by the Department.
In each instance, the Department shall be the respondent. The respondent on the charge, in the case of dismissal, or the complainant, in the case of default, may file a response to the request for review.
(B) Review. When a request for review is properly filed, the Commission
may consider the Department's report, any argument and supplemental evidence
timely submitted, and the results of any additional investigation conducted by
the
Department in response to the request. In its discretion, the Commission
may designate a hearing officer to conduct a hearing into the factual basis
of the matter at issue. Within 120 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, the Commission shall adopt rules of minimum standards for the contents of responses to requests for review, including, but not limited to, proposed statements of uncontested facts and proposed statements of the legal issues.
(C) Default Order. When a respondent fails to file a timely request
for review of a notice of default, or the default is sustained on review,
the Commission shall enter a default order and notify the parties that the complainant has the right to either commence a civil action in the appropriate circuit court to determine the complainant's damages or request that the Commission set a hearing on damages before one of its hearing officers. The complainant shall have 90 days after receipt of the Commission's default order to either commence a civil action in the appropriate circuit court or request that the Commission set a hearing on damages.
(D) Time Period Toll. Proceedings on requests for review shall toll
the time limitation established in paragraph (G) of Section 7A-102 from
the date on which the Department's notice of dismissal or default is issued until 30 days after
the date
on which the Commission's order is served on the chief legal counsel of the Department.
(E) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 95-243 apply to charges or complaints filed with the Department or Commission on or
after the effective date of those changes. (F) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly apply to charges or complaints filed with the Department or Commission on or
after the effective date of those changes. (G) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly apply to charges filed or pending with the Department or Commission on or
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.(Source: P.A. 103-335, eff. 1-1-24.)
