Sec. 80-30.
Rules and standards.
(a) The rules and standards of the Department's predecessor agencies that
are in effect on June 30, 1997 and pertain to the rights, powers, duties, and
functions transferred to the Department under this Act shall become the
rules and standards of the Department of Human Services on July 1, 1997 and
shall continue in effect until amended or repealed by the Department.
(b) Any rules pertaining to the rights, powers, duties, and functions
transferred to the Department under this Act that have been proposed by a
predecessor agency but have not taken effect or been finally adopted by June
30, 1997 shall become proposed rules of the Department of Human Services on
July 1, 1997, and any rulemaking procedures that have already been completed by
the predecessor agency for those proposed rules need not be repeated.
(c) As soon as practical after July 1, 1997, the Department of Human
Services shall revise and clarify the rules transferred to it under this Act to
reflect the reorganization of rights, powers, duties, and functions effected by
this Act 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 Department may
propose and adopt under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act such other
rules as may be necessary to consolidate and clarify the rules of the agencies
reorganized by this Act.
