This is what IDPH Removed TITLE 77: PUBLIC HEALTH 690.10 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ and changed
690.10 "Quarantine, Modified" – A selective, partial limitation of freedom of movement or actions of a person or group of persons who are or may have been exposed to a contagious disease or possibly contagious disease. Modified quarantine is designed to meet particular situations and includes, but is not limited to, the exclusion of children from school, the prohibition or restriction from engaging in a particular occupation or using public or mass transportation, or requirements for the use of devices or procedures intended to limit disease transmission. Any travel within Illinois outside of the jurisdiction of the local health authority must be either approved by the Director or be under mutual agreement of the health authority of the jurisdiction and the public health official who will assume responsibility. Travel outside Illinois shall require written notice from the Illinois jurisdiction to the out-of-state jurisdiction that will assume responsibility.

PART 690 CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES CODE
The General Assembly's Illinois Administrative Code database includes only those rulemakings that have been permanently adopted. This menu will point out the Sections on which an emergency rule (valid for a maximum of 150 days, usually until replaced by a permanent rulemaking) exists. The emergency rulemaking is linked through the notation that follows the Section heading in the menu.

SECTION 690.10 DEFINITIONS
Section 690.10 Definitions
"Quarantine" – The physical separation and confinement of an individual or groups of individuals who are or may have been exposed to a contagious disease or possibly contagious disease and who do not show signs or symptoms. "Quarantine" also includes the definition of "Quarantine, modified".
"Quarantine, Modified" – A selective, partial limitation of freedom of movement or actions of a person or group of persons who are or may have been exposed to a contagious disease or possibly contagious disease. Modified quarantine is designed to meet particular situations and includes, but is not limited to, the exclusion of children from school, the prohibition or restriction from engaging in a particular occupation or using public or mass transportation, or requirements for the use of devices or procedures intended to limit disease transmission. Any travel within Illinois outside of the jurisdiction of the local health authority must be either approved by the Director or be under mutual agreement of the health authority of the jurisdiction and the public health official who will assume responsibility. Travel outside Illinois shall require written notice from the Illinois jurisdiction to the out-of-state jurisdiction that will assume responsibility.
AUTHORITY: Implementing the Communicable Disease Report Act [745 ILCS 45] and implementing and authorized by the Department of Public Health Act [20 ILCS 2305].
IDPH did allegedly change the law, through an emergency rule, to eliminate "Quarantine, Modified" as part of the definition of "Quarantine" - see page 16.
According to JCAR's rule-making process (here), Emergency Rules can last no longer than 150 days.
JCAR has the authority to Suspend rules, Object to the rule and determine it is not consistent with the statute, and other reasons, which would prohibit the agency (IDPH) from adopting the rule until it responded to the Objection. JCAR can also Prohibit the rule by considering it a threat to the public interest, safety, or welfare.
Last May, JCAR shot down the Governor's Emergency Rule which would have made criminals out of those who did not comply with his Executive Orders (here)
