Changes the short title to the "Domestic Products Procurement Act" and expands the scope of the Act to apply to all purchases or leases of commodities or manufactured goods by the State of Illinois from 2000 until 2005. Provides that, with specified exceptions, the State of Illinois shall purchase or lease only materials, commodities, or goods that are manufactured or supplied by companies whose products consist of a specified minimum level of U.S. or Canadian content. Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Requires all goods purchased under the Code to be Illinois-made goods unless the cost of Illinois-made goods exceeds the cost of other goods by 10% or more. Requires all goods purchased under the Code to be U.S.-made goods unless the cost of the U.S.-made goods exceeds the cost of other goods by 10% or more. STATE MANDATES NOTE (Dept. of Commerce and Community Affairs) Does not create a State mandate. FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Central Management Services) Administrative costs necessary to comply with the bill require- ments, including 21 additional staff, would exceed $1,600,800 annually. Additional costs in the form of higher prices for goods purchased under the preference provisions in this Act could exceed $26,509,500 annually. These price increases re- flect only those purchases made through contracts established by Procurement Services and Bureau of Communications and Com- puters. The effect on total State and local gov't would be greater.
