operation of all stations. The Agency shall issue a request 
for proposals related to its plan by January 1, 2023. 
    The described plan shall also contain a timeline of 
actions including the issuance of a request for proposals by 
January 1, 2023. The plan shall include procurement of 
services, technology,  equipment, and other elements necessary 
to replace the former vehicle testing lanes and shall state 
whether the replacement stations in the City of Chicago will 
utilize permanent self-service kiosks or other services. The 
plan shall also include the Agency's strategy of how best to 
inform people of the location and hours of operation of the new 
official inspection stations and conduct  an informational 
campaign.
    Any contracts awarded as a result of this plan shall 
adhere to all State procurement requirements. The State shall 
consider contracting with minority-owned businesses as defined 
in Section 2 of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, 
and Persons with Disabilities Act.
