PROCUREMENT-BID PREFERENCE

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. In a provision concerning bid preferences for Illinois businesses, makes changes to the definition of "Illinois business". Provides that the chief procurement officer shall require at the time of submission of a bid, and may require at the Chief Procurement Officer's option at any time during the term of the contract, that the bidder or contractor submit an affidavit and other supporting documents demonstrating that the bidder or contractor is an Illinois business and, if applicable, submit an affidavit and other supporting documents demonstrating that the bidder or contractor is eligible for a 4% bid preference under the provisions. Provides that if a contractor who is awarded a contract through the use of a preference for Illinois businesses provided false information in order to obtain that preference, then the contractor is subject to disciplinary procedures under the Act.
