Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for HB 476

Amends the State Property Control Act to establish restrictions on and procedures for the State's awarding of naming and sponsorship rights relating to State property. Amends the Illinois Procurement Code to make corresponding changes. Effective immediately.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with these changes: makes the naming and sponsorship requirements prospective only; authorizes imprints and other identifying information as well as signs and placards; allows for periodic payment of license fees; deletes the prohibition on lobbyists and those doing business with the State from acquiring naming and sponsorship rights; requires publication in the Procurement Bulletin (rather than a newspaper); requires public institutions of higher education to consent to a license and allows that institution to designate a fund or account of the institution for deposit of fees; makes certain exceptions for donated land or buildings; allows licenses with respect to historic sites if the property is a university sports stadium and the applicable federal or State agency consents; limits the Executive Ethics Commission's review to ethical and ethics related standards imposed by the law and on avoiding the appearance of impropriety; requires the Commission to act with reasonable promptness and not to unreasonably withhold its approval; and makes the provisions subject to laws concerning blind vendors. Effective September 1, 2005.

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of House Amendment No. 1 with changes relating to properties with respect to which licenses may not be granted, license terms of 10 years (instead of 5 years), personal gifts, "official" designations, negotiation of multiple licenses as part of a single process, the administrator for property and other assets of institutions of higher education and executive branch constitutional officers, naming and sponsorship rights for small consideration, applicability to State Fairs beginning January 1, 2006, retention of records, deposit of funds, and prequalification of proposers. Exempts property of the legislative and judicial branches. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Provides that in the case of naming or sponsorship rights for a single event or a continuous series of related events, the administrator may grant multiple licenses not based on the standard of "highest and best proposals" if the end result is the most beneficial to the State. Further provides that the Executive Ethics Commission may adopt rules authorizing the administrator to grant licenses without pre-approval, but the rules must specify, by category, those emergency and other extenuating situations in which pre-approval is waived, must provide for prompt review by the Commission after the granting of the license, and may contain other provisions the Commission deems necessary to prevent abuse of this procedure. Changes the threshold amount for licenses granted for small consideration from $10,000 to $25,000.
