Sec. 5-700.
Transfers of rights, powers, and duties.
Whenever
rights, powers, and duties vested in or exercised by any
officer, board, commission, institution, or department or any deputy,
inspector, or subordinate officer of one of those are, by
the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois or by any
amendments to the Code, transferred either in whole or in
part to or vested in
a department created by the Code or by any amendments to
the Code, those
rights, powers, and duties shall be vested in and shall be exercised
by the
department to which they are thereby transferred and not
otherwise,
and every act done in the exercise of those rights, powers,
and duties shall
have the same legal effect as if done by the former officer, board,
commission, institution, or department or any deputy, inspector,
or
subordinate officer of any of those.
Every person and corporation shall be subject
to the same obligations and duties and shall have the same rights arising
from the exercise of those rights, powers, and duties as if
those rights,
powers, and duties were exercised by the officer, board, commission,
department, or institution or deputy, inspector, or subordinate
of any of those
designated in the respective laws that are to be administered by
departments created by the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois or by any amendments to the Code. Every person
and corporation shall be subject to the same penalty or penalties, civil or
criminal, for failure to perform any such obligation or duty or for doing
a prohibited act as if the obligation or duty arose from, or
the act
were prohibited in, the exercise of the right, power, or duty
by the
officer, board, commission, department, or institution or deputy,
inspector, or
subordinate of any of those designated in the respective laws
that are to be
administered by departments created by the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois or by any
amendments
to the Code. Every officer and employee shall, for any
offense,
be subject to
the same penalty or penalties, civil or criminal, as are prescribed by
existing law for the same offense by any officer or employee whose powers
or duties devolved upon the officer or employee under
the Code or
under any amendments to the Code.
All books, records, papers, documents, property, real and personal,
unexpended appropriations, and pending business in any way pertaining to
the rights, powers, and duties so transferred to or vested in a department
created by the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois or by
any amendments to the Code
shall be delivered and
transferred to the department succeeding to those rights,
powers, and duties.
