    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.
