    AN ACT concerning State government.

 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, 
represented in the General Assembly: 




 
    Section 5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended  by 
changing Section 20-60 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 500/20-60)
    Sec. 20-60. Duration of contracts. 
    (a) Maximum duration.   A contract, other than a contract 
entered into pursuant to the State University Certificates of 
Participation Act, may be entered into for
any period of time 
deemed
to be in the best interests of the State but not

exceeding 10 years inclusive, beginning January 1, 2010,  of 
proposed contract renewals.  The length of
a lease for real 
property or capital improvements shall be in
accordance with 
the provisions of
Section 40-25. A contract for bond or 
mortgage insurance awarded by the Illinois Housing Development 
Authority, however, may be entered into for any period of time 
less than or equal to the maximum period of time that the 
subject bond or mortgage may remain outstanding.

    (b) Subject to appropriation.  All contracts made or entered

into shall recite that they are
subject to termination and 
cancellation in any year for which the
General Assembly fails 
to make
an appropriation to make payments under the terms of 
the contract.
    (c) The chief procurement officer shall file a proposed 
extension or renewal of a contract with the Procurement Policy 
Board prior to entering into any  extension or renewal if the 
cost associated with  the extension or renewal  exceeds $249,999. 
The Procurement Policy Board may object to the proposed 
extension or renewal within 30 calendar days and require a 
hearing before the Board prior to entering into the extension 
or renewal. If the Procurement Policy Board does not object 
within 30 calendar days or takes affirmative action to 
recommend the extension or renewal, the chief procurement 
officer may enter into the extension or renewal of a contract. 
This subsection does not apply to any emergency procurement, 
any procurement under Article 40, or any procurement exempted 
by Section 1-10(b) of this Code. If any State agency contract 
is paid for in whole or in part with federal-aid funds, grants, 
or loans and the provisions of this subsection would result in 
the loss of those federal-aid funds, grants, or loans, then the 
contract is exempt from the provisions of this subsection in 
order to remain eligible for those federal-aid funds, grants, 
or loans, and the State agency shall file notice of this 
exemption with the Procurement Policy Board prior to entering 
into the proposed extension or renewal. Nothing in this 
subsection permits a chief procurement officer to enter into an 
extension or renewal in violation of subsection (a). By August 
1 each year, the Procurement Policy Board shall file a report 
with the General Assembly identifying for the previous fiscal 
year (i) the proposed extensions or renewals that were filed 
with the Board and whether the Board objected and (ii) the 
contracts exempt from this subsection.

becoming law.
