 9    Services that are in effect on June 30, 2003 and pertain to a
10    program  transferred  under  Section  85-10  shall become the
11    rules and standards of the transferee department on  July  1,
12    2003  and  shall continue in effect until amended or repealed
13    by the department.
14        (b)  Any rules pertaining to a program transferred  under
15    Section  85-10  that  have been proposed by the Department of
16    Human Services but have not  taken  effect  or  been  finally
17    adopted  by  June 30, 2003 shall become proposed rules of the
18    transferee department on July 1,  2003,  and  any  rulemaking
19    procedures that have already been completed by the Department
20    of  Human  Services  for  those  proposed  rules  need not be
21    repeated.
22        (c)  As soon as practical after July 1, 2003, each of the
23    departments  affected  by  Section  85-10  shall  revise  and
24    clarify the rules transferred or retained by  it  to  reflect
25    the   reorganization  effected  by  this  Article  using  the

27    Illinois  Administrative  Procedure Act, except that existing
28    title, part, and section numbering for the affected rules may
29    be retained.  Each  of the departments may propose and  adopt
30    under  the  Illinois  Administrative  Procedure Act any other
31    rules that may be necessary to consolidate  and  clarify  the
32    rules affected by the reorganization under this Article.

19    to  refer  to  the  successor  department  or  its  officers,
20    employees, or agents.
21        (c)  The  transfer  of  rights,   powers,   duties,   and
22    functions  under  this  Article  does not affect any person's
23    rights,  obligations,  or  duties,  including  any  civil  or
24    criminal penalties applicable thereto, arising out  of  those
25    transferred rights, powers, duties, and functions.

30        to a predecessor  department  or  any  of  its  officers,
31        employees,  or  agents shall be made or given in the same
32        manner to the successor  department  or  its  appropriate
33        officer, employee, or agent.
34             (2)  Beginning  July  1,  2003,  a document that was

 5        department  or  its  appropriate  officer,  employee,  or
 6        agent.
 7        (e)  This Article does not affect any act done, ratified,
 8    or cancelled, any right  occurring  or  established,  or  any
 9    action  or  proceeding had or commenced in an administrative,
10    civil, or criminal cause  before  July  1,  2003.   Any  such
11    action  or  proceeding that pertains to a right, power, duty,
12    or function transferred to a successor department under  this
13    Article  and  is  pending  on  that  date  may be prosecuted,
14    defended, or continued by the successor department.
