Bill > HB0579

This bill amends the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, specifically Section 5-90 concerning the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The bill makes a minor technical change by removing and reinserting the word "The" at the beginning of a paragraph, which appears to be a formatting adjustment. The bill reaffirms that JCAR is a legislative support services agency established under the Legislative Commission Reorganization Act of 1984. It maintains the existing requirement that JCAR should aim to submit meeting agendas to the Secretary of State for publication in the Illinois Register at least 5 days before meetings, and allows the committee to submit weekly lists of rulemaking notice dates. The bill also preserves the committee's ability to act on items not originally included in the published agenda, ensuring flexibility in its operations. Additionally, the bill continues to allow JCAR to charge reasonable fees for document copies to cover reproduction costs.
