(a) The rules and standards of the Juvenile Division of the Department of Corrections that are in effect immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly and pertain to the rights, powers, duties, and functions transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice under this Article shall become the rules and standards of the Department of Juvenile Justice on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly and shall continue in effect until amended or repealed by the Department.

(b) Any rules pertaining to the rights, powers, duties, and functions transferred to the Department under this Article that have been proposed by the Juvenile Division of the Department of Corrections but have not taken effect or been finally adopted immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly shall become proposed rules of the Department of Juvenile Justice on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, and any rulemaking procedures that have already been completed by the Juvenile Division of the Department of Corrections for those proposed rules need not be repeated.

(c) As soon as practical after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, the Department of Juvenile Justice shall revise and clarify the rules transferred to it under this Article to reflect the reorganization of rights, powers, duties, and functions effected by this Article 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 Department 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 agency reorganized by this Article.
