Prohibits an executive branch State agency from executing a lease with a business entity if the business entity or any of its affiliates has made any campaign contribution of $150 to the officeholder responsible for awarding the lease during the 24 months before the general election at which that officeholder was first elected or re-elected to his or her current office and the officeholder's entire term.

Makes violations subject to voidability of the lease, voidability of other State leases, and prohibition against future leases. Applies to certain leases otherwise not subject to the Illinois Procurement Code. Effective immediately.
