Section 100.200  Publication Schedule and Deadline

a)         The Index Department publishes and distributes the Illinois Register on Friday of each week.  However, if Friday is a state holiday, the Register is published and distributed on the next work day.

b)         Pursuant to the provisions of this Part, all documents submitted to the Index Department for Illinois Register publication shall be received by 4:30 p.m. on Monday.  When a State holiday falls on Monday, the deadline shall be 12 p.m. on Tuesday. All documents meeting publication requirements will appear in the following week's Register.

c)         However, all new rules, amendments, repealers and expedited corrections which an agency is ready to adopt must be submitted to the Index Department either five working days prior to the date the agency wishes to adopt the material or, if a later effective date is specified, five working days prior to the Register deadline listed in subsection (b) above.  (See Section 100.550)

d)         Copies of the current year's publication schedule with deadline dates are published weekly in the Illinois Register.

e)         In the event that an agency which has submitted a proposed rule for publication subsequently wishes to withdraw that proposal prior to its publication, but after the rule has already been incorporated into the Register compilation, the agency may withdraw the rule only by submitting for publication a Notice of Withdrawal of Proposed Rules. (See 100.Appendix A, Illustration C)  No agency may withdraw an adopted, emergency or peremptory rule or expedited correction once it has been filed with the Index Department.
