Section 100.150  Notice of Codification Changes

a)         Style changes may be made by the Index Department in the codification of rules to:

1)         facilitate the public's use of the Code,

2)         comply with the requirements of the computer data base, or

3)         bring previously filed codified rules into compliance with the current codification style.

b)         When such changes are made to codified rules, they are nonsubstantive and do not affect the meaning of the text.

c)         Before filing codified rules with style changes, the Index Department will notify the agency of all changes made and will request a certification from the agency authorizing the rules as changed to be filed.

d)         The Index Department will publish, upon receipt of the certification from the agency, a Notice of Codification Changes in the Illinois Register. (See 100.Appendix E, Illustration D.) During codification changes, all the Parts that are being changed may be listed on a single Notice of Codification Changes.

e)         A Notice of Codification Changes will also be published for changes the Index Department makes to the file copies of Emergency and Peremptory rules. These codification changes shall affect neither the validity of the rule nor its effective date.
