Retrieval noteThe exhibit is the Part as it reads in 2026 (renamed and amended after the period); the Subpart I provisions quoted carry the source note 'Added at 32 Ill. Reg. 3777, effective March 3, 2008' and were in force unchanged in substance throughout 2020-2021. The rendered text layer overlaps in parts of Subpart I (sections 690.1310, 690.1340); the quotations above are taken from cleanly rendered passages (690.30, 690.1305, 690.1330). The 2020-2021 emergency section 690.50 is exhibited separately (DUT-IL-004, DUT-IL-019, DUT-IL-020).
