| 1 |
| AN ACT concerning government.
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act is | 5 |
| amended by changing Section 1-5 as follows:
| 6 |
| (5 ILCS 100/1-5) (from Ch. 127, par. 1001-5)
| 7 |
| Sec. 1-5. Applicability.
| 8 |
| (a) This Act applies to every agency as defined in this | 9 |
| Act.
Beginning January 1, 1978, in case of conflict between the | 10 |
| provisions of
this Act and the Act creating or conferring power | 11 |
| on an agency, this Act
shall control. If, however, an agency | 12 |
| (or its predecessor in the case of
an agency that has been | 13 |
| consolidated or reorganized) has existing procedures
on July 1, | 14 |
| 1977, specifically for contested cases or licensing, those | 15 |
| existing
provisions control, except that this exception | 16 |
| respecting contested
cases and licensing does not apply if the | 17 |
| Act creating or conferring
power on the agency adopts by | 18 |
| express reference the provisions of this
Act. Where the Act | 19 |
| creating or conferring power on an agency
establishes | 20 |
| administrative procedures not covered by this Act, those
| 21 |
| procedures shall remain in effect.
| 22 |
| (a-5) For purposes of clarification only, no agency as | 23 |
| defined in this Act is exempt from the requirement to adopt |
|

| 1 |
| rules covering agency statements of general applicability that | 2 |
| implement, apply, interpret, or prescribe law or policy | 3 |
| affecting persons or entities outside the agency in accordance | 4 |
| with Article 5 of this Act unless the agency is granted a | 5 |
| specific exemption from rulemaking under this Act. This | 6 |
| rulemaking requirement applies to, in addition to all other | 7 |
| agency policy affecting persons or entities outside the agency, | 8 |
| grant-making policies. All agencies as defined in this Act that | 9 |
| have grant-making authority shall adopt rules governing their | 10 |
| procedures for soliciting applications for grants, awarding | 11 |
| grants, recordkeeping and auditing requirements with respect | 12 |
| to grants, disbursing grant funds, and other aspects of the | 13 |
| grant-making process. | 14 |
| (b) The provisions of this Act do not apply to (i) | 15 |
| preliminary
hearings, investigations, or practices where no | 16 |
| final determinations
affecting State funding are made by the | 17 |
| State Board of Education, (ii) legal
opinions issued under | 18 |
| Section 2-3.7 of the School Code, (iii) as to State

| proceedings, and admission
standards and procedures, and (iv) | 22 |
| the class specifications for positions
and individual position | 23 |
| descriptions prepared and maintained under the
Personnel Code. | 24 |
| Those class specifications shall, however, be made
reasonably | 25 |
| available to the public for inspection and copying. The
| 26 |
