Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 2300.

Conduct
of hearings-Evidence.

The Director may adopt regulations governing the conduct of hearings
held pursuant to any provisions of this Act. All such hearings shall be
conducted in a manner provided by such regulations whether or not they
prescribe a procedure which conforms to the common law or statutory rules
of evidence or other technical rules or procedure, and no informality in
the manner of taking testimony, in any such proceeding, nor the admission
of evidence contrary to the common law rules of evidence, shall invalidate
any decision made by the Director.
