Sec. 20-45. Standing; representation.
(a) With the exception of a person appealing an Inspector General's determination under Section 5-45 of this Act or under applicable provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code, only an Executive Inspector General or the Attorney General may bring actions before the
Executive Ethics Commission.
The Attorney General may bring actions before the Executive Ethics Commission upon receipt of notice pursuant to Section 5-50 or Section 5-51 or pursuant to Section 5-45.
(b) With the exception of Section 5-45, the Attorney General shall represent an Executive Inspector General in
all proceedings before the
Commission.
Whenever the Attorney General is sick or
absent, or unable to attend, or is interested in any matter or
proceeding under this Act, upon the filing of a petition under seal by any
person with standing,
the Supreme Court (or any other court of competent jurisdiction as designated
and determined by rule of the Supreme Court) may appoint
some competent attorney to prosecute or defend that matter or proceeding, and
the attorney so appointed shall have the same
power and authority in relation to
that matter or proceeding as the
Attorney General would have had if present and
attending to the same.
(c) Attorneys representing an Inspector General in
proceedings before the Executive Ethics Commission, except an attorney
appointed under subsection (b),
shall be appointed or retained by the Attorney General, shall
be under the supervision, direction, and control of the Attorney General, and
shall serve at the pleasure of the Attorney General. The compensation of any
attorneys appointed or retained in accordance
with this subsection or subsection (b) shall be paid by the appropriate Office
of the Executive
Inspector General.
