Any rules that have been proposed by the agencies being reorganized by this amendatory Act of 1996 but have not been finally adopted at the time this amendatory Act of 1996 takes effect shall thereupon become proposed rules of the Office of Banks and Real Estate and any rulemaking procedures that have already been completed by a predecessor agency for those proposed rules need not be repeated.
As soon as practical after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996, the Office of Banks and Real Estate shall revise and clarify the rules transferred to or retained by it under this amendatory Act to reflect the reorganization of rights, powers, and duties effected by this amendatory Act using the procedures for recodification of rules available under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, except that existing title, part, and section numbering for the affected rules may be retained. The Office of Banks and Real Estate may propose and adopt under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act such other rules as may be necessary to consolidate and clarify the rules of the agencies reorganized by this amendatory Act of 1996.
