a)         Unless otherwise provided, no person or business convicted of a felony shall do business with the State of Illinois or any State agency, or enter into a subcontract subject to Section 120 of this code, from the date of conviction until 5 years after the date of completion of the sentence for that felony, unless no person held responsible by a prosecutorial office for the facts upon which the conviction was based continues to have any involvement with the business.

b)         Every bid submitted to and contract executed by the State and every subcontract subject to this Part shall contain a certification by the bidder or contractor or subcontractor, respectively, that the bidder, contractor or subcontractor is not barred from being awarded a contract or subcontract under this Section and acknowledges the CPO may declare the related contract void if any of the certifications required by this Section are false.  If the false certification is made by a subcontractor, then the contractor's submitted bid and the executed contract may not be declared void, unless the contractor refuses to terminate the subcontract upon the State's request after a finding that the subcontract's certification was false.
