Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Department of Central Management Services Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. Provides that the Department must require every State-owned building to establish a green cleaning policy whereby the building buys and uses only environmentally-sensitive cleaning products. Authorizes a State-owned building to deplete its existing cleaning and maintenance supply stocks and to implement the requirements in the procurement cycle for the following year. Exempts State-owned buildings from meeting the requirement if adhering to the requirement would not be economically feasible. Amends the Green Cleaning Schools Act. Makes changes to a provision concerning legislative findings. Requires certain entities to establish and annually amend guidelines and specifications for the use of environmentally-sensitive cleaning and maintenance products in State-owned buildings and school facilities (now, just "school facilities"). Effective immediately.
