Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 45-20. Recycled supplies.

When a public contract
is to be awarded to the
lowest responsible bidder or offeror, an otherwise qualified bidder or offeror who will
fulfill the contract through the
use of products made of recycled supplies shall 
be given preference over other bidders or offerors unable to do so, provided
that the cost included in the
bid of supplies is equal or less than other bids or offers, unless the use of the product constitutes an undue practical hardship.

This Section applies to bid opportunities posted to the Illinois Procurement Bulletin on or after January 1, 2016.

Nothing in this Section shall be construed to apply to a construction agency for the purposes of procuring construction and construction-related services.
