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.

(415 ILCS 5/26) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1026)

Sec. 26.

The Board may adopt such procedural rules as may be necessary to
accomplish the purposes of this Act.  In adopting such rules the Board
shall follow the rulemaking procedures of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.

Without limiting the generality of this grant of authority, and
notwithstanding any requirement that hearings be held in actions brought
pursuant to Titles VIII and X of the Act, the Board may adopt procedural
rules for resolution of such actions by summary judgment prior to hearing
upon motion by either party except as otherwise required by federal law, as
well as procedural rules requiring the parties to perfect their pleadings
to conform to the evidence as presented to the Board.
