| Public Act 096-1478 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning State government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by | ||||
changing Section 20-60 as follows: | ||||
(30 ILCS 500/20-60) | ||||
Sec. 20-60. Duration of contracts. | ||||
(a) Maximum duration. A contract, other than a contract | ||||
entered into pursuant to the State University Certificates of | ||||
Participation Act, may be entered into for
any period of time | ||||
deemed
to be in the best interests of the State but not
| ||||
exceeding 10 years inclusive, beginning January 1, 2010, of | ||||
proposed contract renewals. The length of
a lease for real | ||||
property or capital improvements shall be in
accordance with | ||||
the provisions of
Section 40-25. A contract for bond or | ||||
mortgage insurance awarded by the Illinois Housing Development | ||||
Authority, however, may be entered into for any period of time | ||||
less than or equal to the maximum period of time that the | ||||
subject bond or mortgage may remain outstanding.
| ||||
(b) Subject to appropriation. All contracts made or entered
| ||||
into shall recite that they are
subject to termination and | ||||
cancellation in any year for which the
General Assembly fails | ||||
to make
an appropriation to make payments under the terms of | ||||
the contract. | ||
(c) The chief procurement officer shall file a proposed | ||
extension or renewal of a contract with the Procurement Policy | ||
Board prior to entering into any extension or renewal if the | ||
cost associated with the extension or renewal exceeds $249,999. | ||
The Procurement Policy Board may object to the proposed | ||
extension or renewal within 30 calendar days and require a | ||
hearing before the Board prior to entering into the extension | ||
or renewal. If the Procurement Policy Board does not object | ||
within 30 calendar days or takes affirmative action to | ||
recommend the extension or renewal, the chief procurement | ||
officer may enter into the extension or renewal of a contract. | ||
This subsection does not apply to any emergency procurement, | ||
any procurement under Article 40, or any procurement exempted | ||
by Section 1-10(b) of this Code. If any State agency contract | ||
is paid for in whole or in part with federal-aid funds, grants, | ||
or loans and the provisions of this subsection would result in | ||
the loss of those federal-aid funds, grants, or loans, then the | ||
contract is exempt from the provisions of this subsection in | ||
order to remain eligible for those federal-aid funds, grants, | ||
or loans, and the State agency shall file notice of this | ||
exemption with the Procurement Policy Board prior to entering | ||
into the proposed extension or renewal. Nothing in this | ||
subsection permits a chief procurement officer to enter into an | ||
extension or renewal in violation of subsection (a). By August | ||
1 each year, the Procurement Policy Board shall file a report | ||
with the General Assembly identifying for the previous fiscal | ||
year (i) the proposed extensions or renewals that were filed | ||
with the Board and whether the Board objected and (ii) the | ||
contracts exempt from this subsection. | ||

becoming law. | ||
