(720 ILCS 5/33E-8) (from Ch. 38, par. 33E-8)
Sec. 33E-8.
Bribery of inspector employed by contractor.
(a) A person
commits bribery of an inspector when he offers to any person employed by a
contractor or subcontractor on any public project contracted for by any
unit of State or local government any property or other thing of value
with the intent that such offer is for the purpose of
obtaining wrongful certification or approval of the quality or completion
of any goods or services supplied or performed in the course of work on
such project. Violation of this subsection is a Class 4 felony.
(b) Any person employed by a contractor or subcontractor on any public
project contracted for by any unit of State or local government who accepts any
property or other thing of value knowing that such was intentionally
offered for the purpose of influencing the certification or approval of
the quality or completion of any goods or services supplied or performed
under subcontract to that contractor, and either before or afterwards
issues such wrongful certification, commits a Class 3 felony. Failure to
report such offer to law enforcement officials, including but not limited
to the Attorney General or the State's Attorney for the county in which the
contract is performed, constitutes a Class 4 felony.
