IDPH has nearly 200 different programs that benefit literally each state resident and visitor. These programs are governed by laws passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed by the Governor, and administrative rules adopted by IDPH or another agency. The laws provide the general framework or authority for regulating or prescribing a course of conduct. Administrative rules interpret the law to guide the activity of those affected and the actions of agency employees to ensure the uniform application of the law. |
