HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION

 
2     WHEREAS, The Illinois General Assembly has found that human
3 service providers in the State of Illinois are experiencing
4 serious and sustained financial problems, in part due to the
5 State's failure to make timely payments on contracts to service
6 providers; and
 
7     WHEREAS, These problems will be exacerbated by the failure
8 of the State to provide adequate notice of changes to State
9 contracts because the service providers are bound by both best
10 practice and personnel policies to give clients and staff
11 adequate notice to termination of services and employment;
12 therefore, be it
 
13     RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
14 NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE
15 SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that the State shall provide a
16 minimum of 21 days (3 weeks) notice of any change to a State
17 contract or a change between a FY10 contract and a FY11
18 contract.
