SB 1875

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. In provisions concerning general, emergency, and peremptory rulemaking, specifies that State agencies shall accept submissions in writing, including submissions by email, and may, in their discretion, accept oral submissions. Requires each summary in a regulatory agenda to contain, among other things, the email address of the agency representative who is knowledgeable about the rule. Amends the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Requires the Department of Innovation and Technology and the Secretary of State to adopt specified administrative rules concerning electronic records no later than 6 months after the effective date of the amendatory Act. Effective immediately. House Floor Amendment No. 2 In provisions relating to submissions of data, views, arguments, or comments from interested persons, provides that submissions may be made by email or by other publicly accessible electronic means through the State agency's website (rather than only by email) and that notice published in the Illinois Register shall indicate the manner selected by the agency for the submissions, including email address or website address (rather than only the email address).
