MODERATE
The bill was amended to update its title from the 'Civil Administrative Code' to the 'Illinois Procurement Code' and significantly expanded the list of exemptions. The changes clarify that the code applies only to procurements solicited on or after July 1, 1998, and adds numerous specific categories of contracts that are exempt from these procurement rules, such as certain grants, public-private partnerships, and forensic science services.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by adding a specific effective date for applicability (procurements solicited on or after July 1, 1998) and significantly broadened the list of exempted contract types.
TECHNICAL
The official name of the code was changed from the 'Civil Administrative Code of Illinois' to the 'Illinois Procurement Code' to better reflect its content.
TIMELINE
A new provision clarifies that the code applies only to procurements where bidders were first solicited on or after July 1, 1998, protecting older contracts from these new rules.
ELIGIBILITY
New exemptions were added for contracts arising from grant awards where specific partner expertise was required, and for contracts supporting forensic science services.
Exemptions were expanded to include public-private agreements under the Public-Private Partnerships for Transportation Act and design-build agreements.
Specific exemptions were added for contracts involving the Illinois Finance Authority and the Illinois Housing Development Authority for legal, financial, and bond-related services.
