Analysis of Agency Response

a) If the Joint Committee finds that the agency's response to an objection or recommendation is not adequate, the Committee will notify the agency and submit a copy of such notification to the Administrative Code Division for publication in the Illinois Register. The notice will include a specific statement of the reasons the Joint Committee has determined that the response to the objection or recommendation is not adequate. Failure of the agency to respond to a Joint Committee objection or recommendation shall be deemed to be a refusal. b) If the agency fails to adequately respond to an objection or recommendation, the Joint Committee may draft legislation to address the problems. Such legislation must be approved by a majority vote and may be introduced in either house of the General Assembly.
