Sets out the requirements for privatization contracts between contractors and State agencies. Provides for the monitoring and enforcement of privatization contracts. Establishes fines and prison sentences for a violation of certain Sections of the Act. Effective immediately.Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Makes changes in the definitions of "State agency" or "agency", "discrimination or retaliation", "person", "public record", and "privatization contract". Requires every bid for a privatization contract to contain details concerning certain positions in which the bidder will employ any person pursuant to the contract and for which the duties are substantially similar to the duties performed by a regular agency employee. Contains provisions concerning the inclusion of comparable health insurance, pension contributions, or the cash value of those benefits and a prevailing wage rate in the minimum compensation requirements for privatization agreements. Provides that every privatization contract shall outline the liability of the parties for failure to meet the disclosure requirements of either the Freedom of Information Act or the Public Service Accountability Act (now, just the Freedom of Information Act). Contains provisions concerning the duties of a State agency to employee organizations representing employees affected by a proposed privatization contract. Requires the employee organization to submit any amendments to a collective bargaining agreement relevant to the proposed privatization contract within 35 working days prior to the final day for the agency to receive sealed bids. Provides that the agency's public designation of the bidder to which it proposes to award a privatization contract must include certain disclosures and certifications (now, just disclosures) and provides that a bidder who does not satisfy those disclosure and certification requirements shall not be awarded a privatization contract. Makes other changes.Senate Committee Amendment No. 3 Deletes everything. Re-inserts the original provisions but changes the definition of "privatization contract" to exempt certain contracts from the provisions of the Act. Provides that a privatization contract means certain contracts that result in the reduction in force of at least one permanent, classified employee. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.Fiscal Note (S-AM 1 & 3) (Bureau of the Budget) On reviewing this legislation, the Bureau has determined that the legislation does not propose that the Bureau receive or expend any appropriation, or collect any revenues specified by the legislation. As such, there is no Fiscal Note impact for this bill. Senate Floor Amendment No. 5 Makes changes concerning the definition of "privatization contract". Removes provisions requiring State agencies to solicit competitive sealed bids for privatization contracts based upon a written statement of the services to be provided under the contract and requiring the agency to publish the statement in the State register not later than 30 days prior to the dates on which bids are due. Removes provisions concerning the details required to be included in a bid for a privatization contract.Senate Floor Amendment No. 6 Makes changes concerning the types of contracts to which the Act shall not apply.House Amendment No. 1 Deletes reference to:New ActAdds reference to:5 ILCS 100/5-115from Ch. 127, par. 1005-1155 ILCS 100/5-120from Ch. 127, par. 1005-1205 ILCS 100/5-125from Ch. 127, par. 1005-12530 ILCS 500/30-30Deletes everything. Amends the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.

Authorizes the General Assembly by joint resolution to discontinue the suspension of an emergency or peremptory rule (now, the General Assembly may continue a suspension by resolution). Provides that a joint resolution may be introduced by any member of the General Assembly (now, JCAR introduces). Authorized the Joint Committee to withdraw a statement of prohibition or suspension within 180 days after its issuance. Permits an agency to propose changes to a rule for which a statement of prohibition or suspension has been issued and provides that an agency proposing such changes is subject to the same requirements of a second notice period that apply to general rulemaking. Allows an agency to file a new emergency rule if certain requirements are met. Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. With respect to the requirement of separate bids on specified work subdivisions for construction contracts exceeding a value of $250,000, for a period of 2 years exempts a contract for construction of an Emergency Operations Center for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency if (i) a majority of the funding comes from federal funds, (ii) the successful bid identifies the cost of each work subdivision and any subcontractor, and (iii) the written consent of the Capital Development Board is required for the termination of an identified subcontractor.
