Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, in the case of state-wide regulations, hearings shall be held in at least two areas. [415 ILCS 5/28(a)]
- b) If the proponent or any participant wishes to request a hearing beyond the number of hearings specified by the hearing officer, that person must demonstrate, in a motion to the hearing officer, that failing to hold an additional hearing would result in material prejudice to the movant. The motion may be oral, if made at hearing, or written. The movant must show that he exercised due diligence in his participation in the proceeding and why an additional hearing, as opposed to the submission of written comments under Section 102.108, is necessary.
