MODERATE

This bill amends the Illinois Procurement Code to define and regulate small business set-asides for state contracts. It establishes specific financial and employee thresholds for what constitutes a 'small business' across different industries, with stricter standards for the Department of Transportation. The changes also mandate that chief procurement officers designate a fair proportion of contracts for small businesses and create a new role for small business specialists to assist with procurement.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from a technical amendment to the Legislative Accessibility Act to a substantive amendment of the Illinois Procurement Code, introducing new definitions and requirements for small business participation in state contracting.

SCOPE

The bill was changed from amending the Legislative Accessibility Act to amending the Illinois Procurement Code, shifting focus from general accessibility to specific procurement rules.

DEFINITION

New specific thresholds were added to define 'small business' based on industry type, including sales limits for wholesale, retail, and construction, and an employee limit for manufacturing.

ELIGIBILITY

A new exception was added for the Department of Transportation, which must use U.S. Small Business Administration standards rather than the new state-specific thresholds.

REQUIREMENT

New requirements were added to establish a 'fair proportion' of construction contracts (25-40%) for small businesses and to create a 'small business specialist' role.

New reporting requirements were added, mandating annual reports on small business contract awards and the inclusion of minority, women, and disabled-owned business data.
