(1) The council shall advise and consult with the administrator concerning the exercise of the administrator's powers under this code and may make recommendations to the administrator. Members of the council may assist the administrator in obtaining compliance with this code. Since it is an objective of this part 3 to obtain competent representatives of creditors and the public to serve on the council and to assist and cooperate with the administrator in achieving the objectives of this code, service on the council shall not in itself constitute a conflict of interest regardless of the occupations or associations of the members.

(2) (a) There is hereby created a subcommittee of the council of advisors on consumer credit for the purpose specified in paragraph (b) of this subsection (2). The subcommittee shall consist of the attorney general, the chairperson of the council, and three members of the council appointed by such chairperson. Of the subcommittee members who are also members of the council, two shall be representatives of the consumer credit industry and two shall be representatives of the public. Any action taken by a majority of the subcommittee shall constitute action by the council.

(b) The subcommittee may review, repeal, amend, or modify any rule promulgated by the administrator pursuant to section 5-6-104 (1)(e).
