§ 7.1. The Department shall promulgate such rules and regulations governing the establishment and operation of a State lottery as it deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act. Such rules and regulations shall be subject to the provisions of The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. 1 The Department shall issue written game rules, play instructions, directives, operations manuals, brochures, or any other publications necessary to conduct specific games, as authorized by rule by the Department. Any written game rules, play instructions, directives, operations manuals, brochures, or other game publications issued by the Department that relate to a specific lottery game shall be maintained as a public record in the Department's principal office, and made available for public inspection and copying but shall be exempt from the rulemaking procedures of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. However, when such written materials contain any policy of general applicability, the Department shall formulate and adopt such policy as a rule in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. In addition, the Department shall publish each January in the Illinois Register a list of all game-specific rules, play instructions, directives, operations manuals, brochures, or other game-specific publications issued by the Department during the previous year and instructions concerning how the public may obtain copies of these materials from the Department.
