Bill > HB0580

This bill makes a technical amendment to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, specifically focusing on the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The bill modifies Section 5-90 by removing and reinserting the word "The" at the beginning of the section, which appears to be a minor technical correction. The bill reaffirms JCAR's status as a legislative support services agency and maintains its existing provisions regarding meeting agendas and publication requirements. Specifically, the bill continues to require that JCAR's meeting agendas be submitted to the Secretary of State for publication in the Illinois Register at least 5 days before meetings when feasible, and allows the committee to submit lists of notice and proposed rulemaking dates for publication. The bill also preserves JCAR's ability to act on items not originally contained in the published agenda and retains its authority to charge reasonable fees for document copies. While the change appears minor, it ensures the continued smooth operation of the administrative rule review process in Illinois.
