 1        AN ACT in relation to environmental matters.

 2        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.   The Environmental Protection Act is amended
 5    by changing Section 26 as follows:

 6        (415 ILCS 5/26) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1026)
 7        Sec. 26. Procedural  rules.  The  Board  may  adopt  such
 8    procedural  rules  that as may be necessary to accomplish the
 9    purposes of this Act.  In adopting such rules the Board shall
10    follow   the   rulemaking   procedures   of   the    Illinois
11    Administrative Procedure Act.
12        Without   limiting   the  generality  of  this  grant  of
13    authority, and notwithstanding any requirement that  hearings
14    be  held  in actions brought pursuant to Titles VIII and X of
15    the Act, the Board may adopt procedural rules for  resolution
16    of  such  actions  by  summary judgment prior to hearing upon
17    motion by  either  party  except  as  otherwise  required  by
18    federal  law,  as  well  as  procedural  rules  requiring the
19    parties to perfect their pleadings to conform to the evidence
20    as presented to the Board.
