Sec. 27.35. Rules and regulations; notice to telecommunications retailer; hearings. The Department may make, promulgate, and enforce such reasonable rules and regulations relating to the administration and enforcement of only the State infrastructure maintenance fee authorized by this Act.

Whenever notice to a telecommunications retailer is required by this Act, such notice may be given by United States certified or registered mail, addressed to the telecommunications retailer concerned at his or her last known address, and proof of such mailing shall be sufficient for the purposes of this Act. In the case of a notice of hearing, such notice shall be mailed not less than 7 days prior to the day fixed for the hearing.

All hearings provided for in this Act with respect to a telecommunications retailer having his or her principal place of business other than in Cook County shall be held at the Department's office nearest to the location of the telecommunications retailer's principal place of business: Provided that if the telecommunications retailer has his or her principal place of business in Cook County, such hearing shall be held in Cook County; and provided further that if the telecommunications retailer does not have his principal place of business in this State, such hearings shall be held in Sangamon County.

Whenever any proceeding provided by this Act has been begun by the Department or by a person subject thereto and such person thereafter dies or becomes a person under legal disability before the proceeding has been concluded, the legal representative of the deceased person or a person under legal disability shall notify the Department of such death or legal disability. The legal representative, as such, shall then be substituted by the Department in place of and for the person.

Within 20 days after notice to the legal representative of the time fixed for that purpose, the proceeding may proceed in all respects and with like effect as though the person had not died or become a person under legal disability.
