|
| 1 | | (c) Procurements made by or on behalf of public | 2 | | institutions of higher education for the fulfillment of a | 3 | | grant shall be made in accordance with the requirements of | 4 | | this Code to the extent practical. | 5 | | Upon the written request of a public institution of higher | 6 | | education, the Chief Procurement Officer may waive contract, | 7 | | registration, certification, and hearing requirements of this | 8 | | Code if, based on the item to be procured or the terms of a | 9 | | grant, compliance is impractical.

The Chief Procurement | 15 | | Officer shall provide written justification for any waivers. | 16 | | By November 1 of each year, the Chief Procurement Officer | 17 | | shall file a report with the General Assembly identifying each | 18 | | contract approved with waivers and providing the justification | 19 | | given for any waivers for each of those contracts.

The Chief Procurement Officer shall | 23 | | prescribe the form and content of the notice. | 24 | | (d) Notwithstanding this Section, a waiver of the | 25 | | registration requirements of Section 20-160 does not permit a | 26 | | business entity and any affiliated entities or affiliated |
| | | SB1985 | - 6 - | LRB102 15411 RJF 20774 b |
|
| 1 | | persons to make campaign contributions if otherwise prohibited | 2 | | by Section 50-37. The total amount of contracts awarded in | 3 | | accordance with this Section shall be included in determining | 4 | | the aggregate amount of contracts or pending bids of a | 5 | | business entity and any affiliated entities or affiliated | 6 | | persons. | 7 | | (e) Notwithstanding subsection (e) of Section 50-10.5 of | 8 | | this Code, the Chief Procurement Officer, with the approval of | 9 | | the Executive Ethics Commission, may permit a public | 10 | | institution of higher education to accept a bid or enter into a | 11 | | contract with a business that assisted the public institution | 12 | | of higher education in determining whether there is a need for | 13 | | a contract or assisted in reviewing, drafting, or preparing | 14 | | documents related to a bid or contract, provided that the bid | 15 | | or contract is essential to research administered by the | 16 | | public institution of higher education and it is in the best | 17 | | interest of the public institution of higher education to | 18 | | accept the bid or contract. For purposes of this subsection, | 19 | | "business" includes all individuals with whom a business is | 20 | | affiliated, including, but not limited to, any officer, agent, | 21 | | employee, consultant, independent contractor, director, | 22 | | partner, manager, or shareholder of a business. The Executive | 23 | | Ethics Commission may promulgate rules and regulations for the | 24 | | implementation and administration of the provisions of this | 25 | | subsection (e). | 26 | | (f) As used in this Section: |
| | | SB1985 | - 7 - | LRB102 15411 RJF 20774 b |
|
| 1 | | "Grant" means non-appropriated funding provided by a | 2 | | federal or private entity to support a project or program | 3 | | administered by a public institution of higher education and | 4 | | any non-appropriated funding provided to a sub-recipient of | 5 | | the grant. | 6 | | "Public institution of higher education" means Chicago | 7 | | State University, Eastern Illinois University, Governors State | 8 | | University, Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois | 9 | | University, Northern Illinois University, Southern Illinois | 10 | | University, University of Illinois, Western Illinois | 11 | | University, and, for purposes of this Code only, the Illinois | 12 | | Mathematics and Science Academy. | 13 | | (g) (Blank).
| 14 | | (h) The General Assembly finds and declares that: | 15 | | (1) Public Act 98-1076, which took effect on January | 16 | | 1, 2015, changed the repeal date set for this Section from | 17 | | December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2016. | 18 | | (2) The Statute on Statutes sets forth general rules | 19 | | on the repeal of statutes and the construction of multiple | 20 | | amendments, but Section 1 of that Act also states that | 21 | | these rules will not be observed when the result would be | 22 | | "inconsistent with the manifest intent of the General | 23 | | Assembly or repugnant to the context of the statute". | 24 | | (3) This amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly | 25 | | manifests the intention of the General Assembly to remove | 26 | | the repeal of this Section. |
| | | SB1985 | - 8 - | LRB102 15411 RJF 20774 b |
|
| 1 | | (4) This Section was originally enacted to protect, | 2 | | promote, and preserve the general welfare. Any | 3 | | construction of this Section that results in the repeal of | 4 | | this Section on December 31, 2014 would be inconsistent | 5 | | with the manifest intent of the General Assembly and | 6 | | repugnant to the context of this Code. | 7 | | It is hereby declared to have been the intent of the | 8 | | General Assembly that this Section not be subject to repeal on | 9 | | December 31, 2014. | 10 | | This Section shall be deemed to have been in continuous | 11 | | effect since December 20, 2011 (the effective date of Public | 12 | | Act 97-643), and it shall continue to be in effect | 13 | | henceforward until it is otherwise lawfully repealed. All | 14 | | previously enacted amendments to this Section taking effect on | 15 | | or after December 31, 2014, are hereby validated. | 16 | | All actions taken in reliance on or pursuant to this | 17 | | Section by any public institution of higher education, person, | 18 | | or entity are hereby validated. | 19 | | In order to ensure the continuing effectiveness of this | 20 | | Section, it is set forth in full and re-enacted by this | 21 | | amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. This | 22 | | re-enactment is intended as a continuation of this Section. It | 23 | | is not intended to supersede any amendment to this Section | 24 | | that is enacted by the 100th General Assembly. | 25 | | In this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, the | 26 | | base text of the reenacted Section is set forth as amended by |
| | | SB1985 | - 9 - | LRB102 15411 RJF 20774 b |
|
| 1 | | Public Act 98-1076. Striking and underscoring is used only to | 2 | | show changes being made to the base text. | 3 | | This Section applies to all procurements made on or before | 4 | | the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General | 5 | | Assembly. | 6 | | (Source: P.A. 100-43, eff. 8-9-17; 101-640, eff. 6-12-20.)
