Bill > HB5130

This bill amends the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to allow for a second extension of the "second notice period," which is the time an agency has to respond to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) after submitting proposed rule changes. Specifically, the bill permits JCAR and an agency to agree to an additional extension of up to 45 days beyond the initial 45-day second notice period, and this additional extension will not count towards the one-year deadline for completing rulemaking actions. The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) is a legislative oversight committee that reviews proposed rules from state agencies.
