Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

    Sec. 75.

Transfer of rights, functions, powers, duties, and property to Illinois State Police; rules and standards; savings provisions.

(a) On January 1, 2016, the rights, functions, powers, and duties of the Illinois Commerce Commission as set forth in this Act and the Wireless Emergency Telephone Safety Act existing prior to January 1, 2016, are transferred to and shall be exercised by the Illinois State Police. On or before January 1, 2016, the Commission shall transfer and deliver to the Illinois State Police all books, records, documents, property (real and personal), unexpended appropriations, and pending business pertaining to the rights, powers, duties, and functions transferred to the Illinois State Police under Public Act 99-6.

(b) The rules and standards of the Commission that are in effect on January 1, 2016 and that pertain to the rights, powers, duties, and functions transferred to the Illinois State Police under Public Act 99-6 shall become the rules and standards of the Illinois State Police on January 1, 2016, and shall continue in effect until amended or repealed by the Illinois State Police.

Any rules pertaining to the rights, powers, duties, and functions transferred to the Illinois State Police under Public Act 99-6 that have been proposed by the Commission but have not taken effect or been finally adopted by January 1, 2016, shall become proposed rules of the Illinois State Police on January 1, 2016, and any rulemaking procedures that have already been completed by the Commission for those proposed rules need not be repealed.

As soon as it is practical after January 1, 2016, the Illinois State Police shall revise and clarify the rules transferred to it under Public Act 99-6 to reflect the transfer of rights, powers, duties, and functions effected by Public Act 99-6 using the procedures for recodification of rules available under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, except that existing title, part, and section numbering for the affected rules may be retained. The Illinois State Police may propose and adopt under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act any other rules necessary to consolidate and clarify those rules.

(c) The rights, powers, duties, and functions transferred to the Illinois State Police by Public Act 99-6 shall be vested in and exercised by the Illinois State Police subject to the provisions of this Act and the Wireless Emergency Telephone Safety Act. An act done by the Illinois State Police or an officer, employee, or agent of the Illinois State Police in the exercise of the transferred rights, powers, duties, and functions shall have the same legal effect as if done by the Commission or an officer, employee, or agent of the Commission.

The transfer of rights, powers, duties, and functions to the Illinois State Police under Public Act 99-6 does not invalidate any previous action taken by or in respect to the Commission, its officers, employees, or agents. References to the Commission or its officers, employees, or agents in any document, contract, agreement, or law shall, in appropriate contexts, be deemed to refer to the Illinois State Police or its officers, employees, or agents.

The transfer of rights, powers, duties, and functions to the Illinois State Police under Public Act 99-6 does not affect any person's rights, obligations, or duties, including any civil or criminal penalties applicable thereto, arising out of those transferred rights, powers, duties, and functions.

Public Act 99-6 does not affect any act done, ratified, or cancelled, any right occurring or established, or any action or proceeding commenced in an administrative, civil, or criminal case before January 1, 2016. Any such action or proceeding that pertains to a right, power, duty, or function transferred to the Illinois State Police under Public Act 99-6 that is pending on that date may be prosecuted, defended, or continued by the Commission.

For the purposes of Section 9b of the State Finance Act, the Illinois State Police is the successor to the Commission with respect to the rights, duties, powers, and functions transferred by Public Act 99-6.

(d) The Illinois State Police is authorized to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Commission for the purpose of having the Commission assist the Illinois State Police and the Statewide 9-1-1 Administrator in carrying out their duties and functions under this Act. The agreement may provide for funding for the Commission for its assistance to the Illinois State Police and the Statewide 9-1-1 Administrator.
