 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the Illinois Administrative Procedure
 2    Act.

 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  5.  The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is
 6    amended by changing Section 5-105 as follows:

 7        (5 ILCS 100/5-105) (from Ch. 127, par. 1005-105)
 8        Sec. 5-105.  Responsibilities  of  the  Joint  Committee.
 9    The Joint Committee shall have the following responsibilities
10    under this Act:
11        (a)  The  Joint  Committee shall conduct a systematic and
12    continuing study of the rules and rulemaking process  of  all
13    State  agencies,  including  those  agencies  not  covered in
14    Section 1-25, for the purpose  of  improving  the  rulemaking
15    process,  reducing  the  number  and  bulk of rules, removing
16    redundancies  and  unnecessary  repetitions,  and  correcting
17    grammatical, typographical, and similar errors not  affecting
18    the   construction  or  meaning  of  the  rules.   The  Joint
19    Committee shall make recommendations and suggestions  to  the
20    appropriate affected agency.
21        (b)  The  Joint  Committee  shall  review  the  statutory
22    authority on which any administrative rule is based.
23        (c)  The  Joint Committee shall maintain a review program
24    to study the impact of legislative  changes,  court  rulings,
25    and administrative action on agency rules and rulemaking.
26        (d)  The  Joint  Committee shall suggest rulemaking by an
27    agency whenever the Joint Committee, in  the  course  of  its
28    review  of the agency's rules under this Act, determines that
29    the agency's rules are incomplete, inconsistent, or otherwise
30    deficient.
