    AN ACT concerning finance.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
Section 6z-64 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 105/6z-64)
    Sec. 6z-64. The Workers' Compensation Revolving Fund.
    (a) The Workers' Compensation Revolving Fund is created as
a revolving fund, not subject to fiscal year limitations, in
the State treasury. The following moneys shall be deposited
into the Fund:
        (1) amounts authorized for transfer to the Fund from
    the General Revenue Fund and other State funds (except for
    funds classified by the Comptroller as federal trust funds
    or State trust funds) pursuant to State law or Executive
    Order;
        (2) federal funds received by the Department of Central
    Management Services (the "Department") as a result of
    expenditures from the Fund;
        (3) interest earned on moneys in the Fund;
        (4) receipts or inter-fund transfers resulting from
    billings issued to State agencies and universities for the
    cost of workers' compensation services that are not
    compensated through the specific fund transfers authorized
    by this Section, if any;
        (5) amounts received from a State agency or university
    for workers' compensation payments for temporary total
    disability, as provided in Section 405-105 of the
    Department of Central Management Services Law of the Civil
    Administrative Code of Illinois; and
        (6) amounts recovered through subrogation in workers'
    compensation and workers' occupational disease cases.
    (b) Moneys in the Fund may be used by the Department for
reimbursement or payment for:
        (1) providing workers' compensation services to State
    agencies and State universities; or
        (2) providing for payment of administrative and other
    expenses (and, beginning January 1, 2013, fees and charges
    made pursuant to a contract with a private vendor) incurred
    in providing workers' compensation services. The
    Department, or any successor agency designated to enter
    into contracts with one or more private vendors for the
    administration of the workers' compensation program for
    State employees pursuant to subsection 10b of Section
    405-105 of the Department of Central Management Services
    Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois, is
    authorized to establish one or more special funds, as
    separate accounts provided by any bank or banks as defined
    by the Illinois Banking Act, any savings and loan
    association or associations as defined by the Illinois
    Savings and Loan Act of 1985, or any credit union as
    defined by the Illinois Credit Union Act, to be held by the
    Director outside of the State treasury, for the purpose of
    receiving the transfer of moneys from the Workers'
    Compensation Revolving Fund. The Department may promulgate
    rules further defining the methodology for the transfers.
    Any interest earned by moneys in the funds or accounts
    shall be deposited into the Workers' Compensation
    Revolving Fund. The transferred moneys, and interest
    accrued thereon, shall be used exclusively for transfers to
    contracted private vendors or their financial institutions
    for payments to workers' compensation claimants and
    providers for workers' compensation services, claims, and
    benefits pursuant to this Section and subsection 9 of
    Section 405-105 of the Department of Central Management
    Services Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
    The transferred moneys, and interest accrued thereon,
    shall not be used for any other purpose including, but not
    limited to, reimbursement or payment of administrative
    fees due the contracted vendor pursuant to its contract or
    contracts with the Department.
    (c) State agencies may direct the Comptroller to process
inter-fund transfers or make payment through the voucher and
warrant process to the Workers' Compensation Revolving Fund in
satisfaction of billings issued under subsection (a) of this
Section.
    (d) Reconciliation. For the fiscal year beginning on July
1, 2004 only, the Director of Central Management Services (the
"Director") shall order that each State agency's payments and
transfers made to the Fund be reconciled with actual Fund costs
for workers' compensation services provided by the Department
and attributable to the State agency and relevant fund on no
less than an annual basis. The Director may require reports
from State agencies as deemed necessary to perform this
reconciliation.

changing Section 45-57 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 500/45-57)
    Sec. 45-57. Veterans.
    (a) Set-aside goal. It is the goal of the State to promote
and encourage the continued economic development of small
businesses owned and controlled by qualified veterans and that
qualified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses
(referred to as SDVOSB) and veteran-owned small businesses
(referred to as VOSB) participate in the State's procurement
process as both prime contractors and subcontractors. Not less
than 3% of the total dollar amount of State contracts, as
defined by the Director of Central Management Services, shall
be established as a goal to be awarded to SDVOSB and VOSB. That
portion of a contract under which the contractor subcontracts
with a SDVOSB or VOSB may be counted toward the goal of this
subsection. The Department of Central Management Services
shall adopt rules to implement compliance with this subsection
by all State agencies.
    (b) Fiscal year reports. By each September 1, each chief
procurement officer shall report to the Department of Central
Management Services on all of the following for the immediately
preceding fiscal year, and by each March 1 the Department of
Central Management Services shall compile and report that
information to the General Assembly:
        (1) The total number of VOSB, and the number of SDVOSB,
    who submitted bids for contracts under this Code.
        (2) The total number of VOSB, and the number of SDVOSB,
    who entered into contracts with the State under this Code
    and the total value of those contracts.
    (c) Yearly review and recommendations. Each year, each
chief procurement officer shall review the progress of all
State agencies under its jurisdiction in meeting the goal
described in subsection (a), with input from statewide
veterans' service organizations and from the business
community, including businesses owned by qualified veterans,
and shall make recommendations to be included in the Department
of Central Management Services' report to the General Assembly
regarding continuation, increases, or decreases of the
percentage goal. The recommendations shall be based upon the
number of businesses that are owned by qualified veterans and
on the continued need to encourage and promote businesses owned
by qualified veterans.
    (d) Governor's recommendations. To assist the State in
reaching the goal described in subsection (a), the Governor
shall recommend to the General Assembly changes in programs to
assist businesses owned by qualified veterans.
    (e) Definitions. As used in this Section:
    "Armed forces of the United States" means the United States
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or service in
active duty as defined under 38 U.S.C. Section 101. Service in
the Merchant Marine that constitutes active duty under Section
401 of federal Public Act 95-202 shall also be considered
service in the armed forces for purposes of this Section.
    "Certification" means a determination made by the Illinois
Department of Veterans' Affairs and the Department of Central
Management Services that a business entity is a qualified
