(was 20 ILCS 2505/39b20) Sec. 2505-505. Board of appeals. The Department has the power to appoint a board of appeals, which shall consist of 3 persons, to review departmental actions in controversies involving the determination of tax liability arising under the tax laws administered by the Department. The board shall have no jurisdiction prior to the time a notice of deficiency or a notice of assessment has become final unless (i) the board has made a special finding concurred in by all members that action by the board is the most efficient and expeditious manner of resolving the controversy or (ii) the Director so orders. Cases shall be reviewed by the board in accordance with the procedure established by departmental rules and regulations adopted pursuant to the provisions of Section 2505-795. Decisions made pursuant to this Section are not subject to the provisions of Article III of the Code of Civil Procedure. The exercise of the power of appointment for members of the board of appeals is mandatory, and the Director shall make his appointments within 120 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1979. Each member of the board of appeals shall serve for a period of one year and shall continue to serve thereafter at the pleasure of the Director. Compensation for members shall be determined by the Director. Decisions of the Board shall not take effect unless and until approved by the Director. The express denial of applicability of Article III of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be construed as declaratory of existing law, as expressed in Section 3-102 of the Code of Civil Procedure, and not as a new enactment.
