    (b) Each law enforcement agency, including a drug task force or Metropolitan Enforcement Group (MEG) unit, that receives proceeds from forfeitures subject to reporting under this Act shall file an annual report with the Illinois State Police no later than 60 days after December 31 of that year.

    (c) The Illinois State Police shall establish and maintain on its official website a public database that includes annual aggregate data for each law enforcement agency that reports seizures of property under subsection (a) of this Section, that receives distributions of forfeiture proceeds subject to reporting under this Act, or reports expenditures under subsection (b) of this Section. This aggregate data shall include, for each law enforcement agency:

each law enforcement agency during the calendar year;
        (2) the monetary value of all currency or its
    
equivalent seized by the law enforcement agency during the calendar year;
        (3) the number of conveyances seized by the law
    
enforcement agency during the calendar year, and the aggregate estimated value;

Illinois State Police of forfeited currency or auction proceeds from forfeited property to the law enforcement agency during the calendar year; and
        (6) the total amount of the law enforcement agency's
    
expenditures of forfeiture proceeds during the calendar year, categorized as provided under subsection (b) of this Section.
    The database shall not provide names, addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifying information of owners or interest holders, persons, business entities, covert office locations, or business entities involved in the forfeiture action and shall not disclose the vehicle identification number or serial number of any conveyance.
    (d) The Illinois State Police shall adopt rules to administer the asset forfeiture program, including the categories of authorized expenditures consistent with the statutory guidelines for each of the included forfeiture statutes, the use of forfeited funds, other expenditure requirements, and the reporting of seizure and forfeiture information. The Illinois State Police may adopt rules necessary to implement this Act through the use of emergency rulemaking under Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act for a period not to exceed 180 days after the effective date of this Act.
    (e) The Illinois State Police shall have authority and oversight over all law enforcement agencies receiving forfeited funds from the Illinois State Police. This authority shall include enforcement of rules and regulations adopted by the Illinois State Police and sanctions for violations of any rules and regulations, including the withholding of distributions of forfeiture proceeds from the law enforcement agency in violation.
    (f) Upon application by a law enforcement agency to the Illinois State Police, the reporting of a particular asset forfeited under this Section may be delayed if the asset in question was seized from a person who has become a confidential informant under the agency's confidential informant policy, or if the asset was seized as part of an ongoing investigation. This delayed reporting shall be granted by the Illinois State Police for a maximum period of 6 months if the confidential informant is still providing cooperation to law enforcement or the investigation is still ongoing, after which the asset shall be reported as required under this Act.
    (g) The Illinois State Police shall, on or before January 1, 2019, establish and implement the requirements of this Act.
    (h)(1) The Illinois State Police, in consultation with and subject to the approval of the Chief Procurement Officer, may procure a single contract or multiple contracts to implement this Act.
    (2) A contract or contracts under this subsection (h) are not subject to the Illinois Procurement Code, except for Sections 20-60, 20-65, 20-70, and 20-160 and Article 50 of that Code, provided that the Chief Procurement Officer may, in writing with justification, waive any certification required under Article 50 of the Illinois Procurement Code. The provisions of this paragraph (2), other than this sentence, are inoperative on and after July 1, 2019.
