5  law, federal rules and regulations, an order of a court, or a
6  collective bargaining agreement pursuant to subsection (d) of
7  Section 1-5, under conditions that preclude compliance with
8  the general rulemaking requirements imposed by Section 5-40
9  and that preclude the exercise of discretion by the agency as
10  to the content of the rule it is required to adopt. Peremptory
11  rulemaking shall not be used to implement consent orders or
12  other court orders adopting settlements negotiated by the
13  agency. If any agency finds that peremptory rulemaking is
14  necessary and states in writing its reasons for that finding,
15  the agency may adopt peremptory rulemaking upon filing a
16  notice of rulemaking with the Secretary of State under Section
17  5-70. The notice shall be published in the Illinois Register.

2  Nothing in this Section shall preclude an agency from
3  adopting a rule that has not been summarized in a regulatory
4  agenda or from adopting a rule different than one summarized
5  in a regulatory agenda if in the agency head's best judgment it
6  is necessary. If an agency finds that a situation exists that
7  requires adoption of a rule that was not summarized on either
8  of the 2 most recent regulatory agendas, it shall state its
9  reasons in writing together with the facts that form their
10  basis upon filing the notice of proposed rulemaking with the
11  Secretary of State under Section 5-40. Nothing in this Section
12  shall require an agency to adopt a rule summarized in a
