SENATE 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 SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL
14 ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
15 CONCURRING HEREIN, that the State shall provide a minimum of 21
16 days (3 weeks) notice of any change to a State contract or a
17 change between a FY10 contract and a FY11 contract.
