Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The appeals
			 procedures of the Authority are subject to the provisions of Article 10 of the
			 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1991, ch. 127, pars.
			 1010-5 et seq.).
b) An implementing
			 agency may appeal any adverse action of the Executive Director by writing to
			 the Budget Committee within fourteen (14) days from the day the notice of
			 adverse action is mailed to the implementing agency. This written appeal shall
			 contain specific reasons stating why the action taken by the Executive Director
			 should be modified and the action requested of the Budget Committee and shall
			 be signed by the implementing agency's authorized official.
c) If no timely appeal is taken from an
			 adverse action, such action of the Executive Director will be deemed the final
			 action of the Budget Committee, and Authority members shall be notified within
			 five (5) business days or before the next Authority meeting, whichever is
			 sooner - by phone, mail or equivalent - of the action of the Executive
			 Director.
d) When an appeal is
			 timely filed, the Chairman of the Budget Committee shall arrange for the
			 Committee to hear and decide the appeal within forty-nine (49) days of the
			 receipt of the written appeal. The implementing agency shall have a right to
			 appear before the Committee and to be represented at the hearing by counsel and
			 shall be notified of the hearing date at least seven (7) days prior to the
			 hearing.
e) At the hearing, the
			 Budget Committee shall consider the written appeal to the adverse action
			 submitted pursuant to subsection (b), any written response to that appeal by
			 Authority staff, and any testimony given by the implementing agency or
			 Authority staff to questions posed by Committee members.
f) The Budget Committee shall render a
			 decision on the appeal before adjourning the hearing.
g) In accordance with the Organizational
			 Rules of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (2 Ill. Adm. Code
			 1750.340 ), Authority
			 members shall be notified within five (5) business days or before the next
			 Authority meeting whichever is sooner - by phone, mail or written equivalent -
			 of all appeal decisions made by the Budget Committee. Within ten (10) business
			 days of receipt of such information, a special meeting of the Authority shall
			 be convened upon the request of five (5) Authority members, for the purpose of
			 fully discussing such action taken by the Budget Committee and to supersede the
			 authorization granted to that Committee to act upon the Authority's behalf in
			 any particular appeal. If no such action is taken by the Authority, the
			 decision of the Budget Committee shall be deemed the final action of the
			 Authority. Such meetings shall be conducted in conformance with the Open
			 Meetings Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 102, par. 41, et seq.) and the
			 Authority's rules (2 Ill. Adm. Code
			 1750.310 et
			 seq.).
