Senate Floor Amendment No. 3 Rule 19(b) / Motion Referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill changes the Illinois Procurement Code so that purchases needed by the Department of Public Health, Department of Agriculture, Illinois State Police, or Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to operate state laboratories are not subject to the usual procurement process after all master contracts and cooperative agreements have been used. It also revises STAR bond rules, replacing the word “contribution” with “increment,” and treats Capital Area Tourism projects as STAR bond projects for counting limits. These changes are meant to speed up lab operations and clarify bond funding calculations.
