| 1 | AN ACT concerning government.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Business Enterprise for Minorities, | ||||||
| 5 | Females, and Persons with
Disabilities Act is amended by | ||||||
| 6 | changing Section 4 as follows:
| ||||||
| 7 | (30 ILCS 575/4) (from Ch. 127, par. 132.604)
| ||||||
| 8 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on June 30, 2010)
| ||||||
| 9 | Sec. 4. Award of State contracts.
| ||||||
| 10 | (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), not less than 12% | ||||||
| 11 | of
the total dollar amount of State contracts, as defined by | ||||||
| 12 | the Secretary of
the Council and approved by the Council, shall | ||||||
| 13 | be established as a goal to
be awarded to businesses owned by | ||||||
| 14 | minorities,
females, and persons with disabilities; provided, | ||||||
| 15 | however, that
contracts representing at least five-twelfths of | ||||||
| 16 | the total amount of all
State contracts awarded to businesses | ||||||
| 17 | owned by
minorities, females, and persons with disabilities | ||||||
| 18 | pursuant to
this Section shall be awarded to female owned | ||||||
| 19 | businesses, and that
contracts representing at least one-sixth | ||||||
| 20 | of the total amount of all State
contracts awarded to | ||||||
| 21 | businesses owned by
minorities, females, and persons with | ||||||
| 22 | disabilities pursuant to this
Section shall be awarded to | ||||||
| 23 | businesses owned by persons
with disabilities.
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | The above percentage relates to the total dollar amount of | ||||||
| 2 | State
contracts during each State fiscal year, calculated by | ||||||
| 3 | examining
independently each type of contract for each agency | ||||||
| 4 | or university which
lets such contracts. Only that percentage | ||||||
| 5 | of arrangements which represents the participation of | ||||||
| 6 | businesses owned by
minorities, females, and persons with | ||||||
| 7 | disabilities on such contracts shall
be included.
| ||||||
| 8 | (b) In the case of State construction contracts, the | ||||||
| 9 | provisions of
subsection (a) requiring a portion of State | ||||||
| 10 | contracts to be awarded to
businesses owned and controlled by | ||||||
| 11 | persons with
disabilities do not apply. Not less
than 10% of | ||||||
| 12 | the total dollar amount of State construction contracts is
| ||||||
| 13 | established as a goal to be awarded to minority and female | ||||||
| 14 | owned
businesses, and contracts representing 50% of the amount | ||||||
| 15 | of all State
construction contracts awarded to minority and | ||||||
| 16 | female owned businesses
shall be awarded to female owned | ||||||
| 17 | businesses.
| ||||||
| 18 | (c) Those who submit bids or proposals for State contracts | ||||||
| 19 | shall not be given a period after the bid or proposal is | ||||||
| 20 | submitted to cure deficiencies in the bid or proposal under | ||||||
| 21 | this Act unless mandated by federal law or regulation. | ||||||
| 22 | (Source: P.A. 87-701; 88-597, eff. 8-28-94.)
| ||||||
| 23 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 24 | becoming law.
