Frequently Asked Questions
Which version of Chapter 2 applies to an older grievance complaint?
Complaints filed on or before December 31, 2003 are governed by the rules that were in effect on that date, not by the 2004 revisions.
When did the current version of Chapter 2 take effect?
The revisions described in Section 2-83 became effective January 1, 2004, and apply to grievance complaints filed on or after that date.
Are there exceptions to the January 1, 2004 effective date?
Yes. Section 2-83 applies the new revisions to complaints filed on or after that date “unless otherwise provided in these rules,” so a specific rule elsewhere in the chapter can set a different effective date.
