Referred to Assignments
Summary
The bill adds a new rule to the Illinois Procurement Code that defines a “company of concern” as any firm in which the Chinese government holds an ownership stake. Such companies, and any of their parent or subsidiary firms, are prohibited from bidding on or receiving state contracts for computers, printers, or interoperable videoconferencing equipment, and must certify they are not a company of concern. If a company lies on the certification, it faces a civil penalty equal to twice the contract value, contract termination, and a ban from future state contracts.
