    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Department of Central Management Services
Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by
adding Section 405-530 as follows:
 
    (20 ILCS 405/405-530 new)
    Sec. 405-530. Higher education supplier diversity report.
    (a) Every private institution of higher education approved
by the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for purposes of
the Monetary Award Program shall submit a 2-page report on its
voluntary supplier diversity program to the Department. The
report shall set forth all of the following:
        (1) The name, address, phone number, and e-mail address
    of the point of contact for the supplier diversity program
    (or the institution's procurement program if there is no
    supplier diversity program) for vendors to register with
    the program.
        (2) Local and State certifications the institution
    accepts or recognizes for minority-owned, women-owned, or
    veteran-owned business status.
        (3) On the second page, a narrative explaining the
    results of the report and the tactics to be employed to
    achieve the goals.
        (4) The voluntary goals, if any, for either fiscal year
    or calendar year 2019 in each category for the entire
    budget of the institution (expending both public and
    private moneys, including any fee-supported entities) and
    the commodity codes or a description of particular goods
    and services for the area of procurement in which the
    institution expects most of those goals to focus on in the
    next year. However, a private institution of higher
    education may report the information under this
    subdivision (3) for fiscal year or calendar year 2018
    instead. With respect to private institutions of higher
    education, beginning with the 2020 report, the actual
    spending for the entire budget of the institution
    (expending both public and private moneys, including any
    fee-supported entities) for minority business enterprises,
    women's business enterprises, and veteran-owned
    businesses, expressed both in actual dollars and as a
    percentage of the total budget of the institution. However,
    if a private institution of higher education elects to
    report the information under subdivision (3) of this
    subsection (a) for fiscal year or calendar year 2018
    instead, then the information under this subdivision (4)
    must be reported beginning with the 2019 report.
    Each private institution of higher education is required to
submit a searchable Adobe PDF report to the Department on or
before November 15, 2019 and on or before November 15 every
year thereafter. However, if a private institution of higher
education elects to report the information under subdivision
(3) of this subsection (a) for fiscal year or calendar year
2018 instead, then the institution is required to submit the
report on or before November 15, 2018 and on or before November
15 every year thereafter.
    (b) For each report submitted under subsection (a) of this
Section, the Department shall publish the results on its
Internet website for 5 years after submission. The Department
is not responsible for collecting the reports or for the
content of the reports.
    (c) The Department shall hold an annual higher education
supplier diversity workshop in February of 2018 and every
February thereafter to discuss the reports with
representatives of the institutions of higher education and
vendors.
    (d) The Department shall prepare a one-page template (not
including the narrative section) for the voluntary supplier
diversity reports.
 
    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
