9 | Act of the 96th General Assembly, and that pertain to the | ||||||

18 | rules available under the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
19 | Procedure Act, except that existing title, part, and | ||||||

23 | propose and adopt, under the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
24 | Procedure Act, such other rules of the Department of Human | ||||||
25 | Services that will now be administered by the Department of | ||||||
26 | Public Health. |
