emergency exists that | 12 | | requires adoption of a rule upon fewer days than
is required by | 13 | | Section 5-40 and states in writing its reasons for that
| 14 | | finding, the agency may adopt an emergency rule without prior | 15 | | notice or
hearing upon filing a notice of emergency rulemaking | 16 | | with the Secretary of

emergency rule and shall be | 18 | | published in the Illinois Register. Consent
orders or other | 19 | | court orders adopting settlements negotiated by an agency
may | 20 | | be adopted under this Section. Subject to applicable | 21 | | constitutional or
statutory provisions, an emergency rule | 22 | | becomes effective immediately upon
filing under Section 5-65 or | 23 | | at a stated date less than 10 days
thereafter. The agency's |
