Sec. 5-25. Rulemaking authority; agency policy; agency response. (a) Rulemaking. A chief procurement officer
authorized to make
procurements under this Code shall have the authority to
promulgate rules to carry out that

not rules and are not subject to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
All rules other than those promulgated by the Board

comment. The Board shall express their opinions and recommendations in writing. The
proposed rules and recommendations shall be made available for
public review. The rules shall also be approved by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.
