PROCUREMENT-IMSA

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Provides that the Code shall not apply to procurements made by or on behalf of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy for certain items. Provides that the Chief Procurement Officer may waive registration, certification, and hearing requirements of the Code for certain items procured by the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy if compliance is impractical. Provides that the Chief Procurement Officer, with the approval of the Executive Ethics Commission, may permit the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy to accept a bid or enter into a contract with a business that assisted the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in determining whether there is a need for a contract or assisted in reviewing, drafting, or preparing documents related to a bid or contract. Provides that the definition of "Chief Procurement Officer" includes the chief procurement officer for all procurements made by a public institution of higher education, including procurements made by the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (now, just for all procurements made by a public institution of higher education). Effective immediately.
