Ill. Admin. Code tit. 2, § 2175.525 - Emergency Rules

Under the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act [20 ILCS 3305/7 ], on proclamation by the Governor that a disaster exists, or when the Board finds that a severe public health emergency is involved in relation to any proposed regulation, then such regulation will take effect without delay and the Board may proceed with the required economic impact hearings while the regulation continues in effect [415 ILCS 5/27(c) ]. When such an emergency exists, or when the Board finds another situation exists that reasonably constitutes a threat to the public interest, safety, or welfare, the customary 45-day notice period is waived; however, notice and text of the emergency rule must be published in the Illinois Register [5 ILCS 100/5-45(b) ]. An emergency rule is effective for a maximum period of 150 days under Section 5-45(c) of the IAPA [5 ILCS 100/5-45(c) ], but it may be adopted as a permanent rule by following usual rulemaking procedures.
