| ||||
AN ACT concerning government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Business Enterprise for Minorities, | ||||
Females, and Persons with
Disabilities Act is amended by | ||||
changing Section 4 as follows:
| ||||
(30 ILCS 575/4) (from Ch. 127, par. 132.604)
| ||||
(Section scheduled to be repealed on June 30, 2010)
| ||||
Sec. 4. Award of State contracts.
| ||||
(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), not less than 12% | ||||
of
the total dollar amount of State contracts, as defined by | ||||
the Secretary of
the Council and approved by the Council, shall | ||||
be established as a goal to
be awarded to businesses owned by | ||||
minorities,
females, and persons with disabilities; provided, | ||||
however, that
contracts representing at least five-twelfths of | ||||
the total amount of all
State contracts awarded to businesses | ||||
owned by
minorities, females, and persons with disabilities | ||||
pursuant to
this Section shall be awarded to female owned | ||||
businesses, and that
contracts representing at least one-sixth | ||||
of the total amount of all State
contracts awarded to | ||||
businesses owned by
minorities, females, and persons with | ||||
disabilities pursuant to this
Section shall be awarded to | ||||
businesses owned by persons
with disabilities.
| ||||
The above percentage relates to the total dollar amount of | ||
State
contracts during each State fiscal year, calculated by | ||
examining
independently each type of contract for each agency | ||
or university which
lets such contracts. Only that percentage | ||
of arrangements which represents the participation of | ||
businesses owned by
minorities, females, and persons with | ||
disabilities on such contracts shall
be included.
| ||
(b) In the case of State construction contracts, the | ||
provisions of
subsection (a) requiring a portion of State | ||
contracts to be awarded to
businesses owned and controlled by | ||
persons with
disabilities do not apply. Not less
than 10% of | ||
the total dollar amount of State construction contracts is
| ||
established as a goal to be awarded to minority and female | ||
owned
businesses, and contracts representing 50% of the amount | ||
of all State
construction contracts awarded to minority and | ||
female owned businesses
shall be awarded to female owned | ||
businesses.
| ||
(c) Those who submit bids or proposals for State contracts | ||
shall not be given a period after the bid or proposal is | ||
submitted to cure deficiencies in the bid or proposal under | ||
this Act unless mandated by federal law or regulation. | ||
