On January 22, 2015, the Illinois Pollution Control Board adopted amendments to all parts of the Board’s procedural rules. The amendments accomplish two primary objectives. First, the rules codify procedural standards for remarks by members of the public at the Board’s open meetings in accordance with the Open Meetings Act. Second, these rules permit, with certain limited exceptions, electronic filing in all Board proceedings through the Board’s Clerk’s Office On-Line or “COOL,” as well as service by e-mail of most types of filings. The proposal also amends other sections of the procedural rules not directly or primarily relating to public remarks. In the final adoption order, the Board made only limited clarifying changes and technical corrections to its second-notice proposal.
