Fiscal Note (Dept. of Natural Resources)
HB 2764 will severely impact operations at State Park Gift Shops and Visitors Centers as well as smaller Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Concessions. Estimated inventory at only 6 sites is almost $400k. At least seven of our State Parks contract vending through the Business Enterprise for the Blind. These vending machines provide snacks, water and soft drinks. While some of these products are manufactured in the United States, many are not. This legislation places a tremendous burden on the Vendor to stay competitive. IDNR's World Shooting and Recreational Complex would most likely lose the Grand American shoot. Since most of IDNR's Building Vendors would encounter the same difficulties stocking U.S.A. inventory, they may elect to sever their leases with IDNR. The smaller Concessions at IDNR State Parks are restaurants, boat/canoe rental and bait shops. These concessions sell sun screen, suntan lotions, bait and tackle (fishing lures, fishing line) etc. These inventories will be very limited if only United States products are allowed to be sold and possibly eliminate the availability of these types of services at IDNR State Parks.
State Mandates Fiscal Note (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity)
This legislation does not create a State mandate.

House Floor Amendment No. 2 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with changes. Provides that only materials manufactured in the United States may be sold on the property of the Illinois State Museum, in gift shops or concession areas within State parks or parkways, and on the property of State Historic Sites, State Memorials, and the other properties over which the Historic Preservation Agency has jurisdiction (in the introduced bill, materials manufactured in Illinois). Provides that this prohibition for gift shops or concession within State parks or parkways does not apply to the World Shooting and Recreational Complex under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources. Makes conforming changes.
