In plain language

The bill exempts certain state laboratory procurement from Illinois Procurement Code after specific contracts are exhausted.

This bill allows the Department of Public Health, Department of Agriculture, Illinois State Police, and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to bypass standard procurement rules for necessary laboratory operations after exploring existing contracts. This means they can more easily acquire goods and services to keep state labs functioning.

What this means for you
  • Environment: This may improve the efficiency of laboratory services related to environmental protection.

Summary

Amends Illinois Procurement Code. Provides that, after exhausting the list of master contracts and cooperative agreements, procurement expenditures necessary for the Department of Public Health, the Department of Agriculture, the Illinois State Police, or the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency to operate State laboratories are exempt from the Code.
