SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, The Illinois General Assembly has found that human service providers in the State of Illinois are experiencing serious and sustained financial problems, in part due to the State's failure to make timely payments on contracts to service providers; and

WHEREAS, These problems will be exacerbated by the failure of the State to provide adequate notice of changes to State contracts because the service providers are bound by both best practice and personnel policies to give clients and staff adequate notice to termination of services and employment; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING HEREIN, that the State shall provide a minimum of 21 days (3 weeks) notice of any change to a State contract or a change between a FY10 contract and a FY11 contract.
