AI Summary
This bill modifies Illinois law to ensure that parties involved in administrative hearings and their representatives receive proper notification of important decisions. Specifically, it amends the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to require that parties, their attorneys, or their designated agents receive notice of contested hearings and final decisions or orders, removing the previous requirement for parties and their attorneys to request a copy of the final decision. Additionally, it changes the Code of Civil Procedure to stipulate that service of a final administrative review decision must be made according to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, rather than solely by mail, and mandates that a copy of the decision must also be sent to the party's attorney or agent. These changes are intended to improve the clarity and accessibility of legal processes for individuals involved in administrative matters.
