treating physician has | ||||||
8 | issued a release to return to work with restrictions
and | ||||||
9 | the employee is able to perform modified duty work but the | ||||||
10 | employing
State agency or
university does not return the | ||||||
11 | employee to work at modified duty. Modified
duty shall be | ||||||
12 | duties assigned that may or may not be delineated
as part | ||||||
13 | of the duties regularly performed by the employee. Modified | ||||||
14 | duties

20 | Management Services shall prepare a plan to effectuate the | ||||||
21 | transfer of responsibility and administration of the | ||||||
22 | workers' compensation program for State employees to the | ||||||
23 | selected private vendors. The Department shall submit a | ||||||
24 | copy of the plan to the General Assembly. | ||||||
25 | (11) Any plan for public liability self-insurance | ||||||
26 | implemented
under this
Section shall provide that (i) the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department
shall attempt to settle and may settle any | ||||||
2 | public liability claim filed
against the State of Illinois | ||||||
3 | or any public liability claim filed
against a State | ||||||
4 | employee on the basis of an occurrence in the course of
the | ||||||
5 | employee's State employment; (ii) any settlement of
such a | ||||||
6 | claim is not subject to fiscal year limitations and must be
| ||||||
7 | approved by the Director and, in cases of
settlements | ||||||
8 | exceeding $100,000, by the Governor; and (iii) a
settlement | ||||||
9 | of
any public liability claim against the State or a State | ||||||
10 | employee shall
require an unqualified release of any right | ||||||
11 | of action against the State
and the employee for acts | ||||||
12 | within the scope of the employee's employment
giving rise | ||||||

16 | covered
by self-insurance under this Section, the State of | ||||||
17 | Illinois shall
defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the | ||||||
18 | employee against any claim in
tort filed against the | ||||||
19 | employee for acts or omissions within the scope
of the | ||||||

| ||||||
21 | settled pursuant
to this subdivision (11), provided that | ||||||
22 | this obligation of
the State of
Illinois shall not exceed a | ||||||
23 | maximum liability of $2,000,000 for any
single occurrence | ||||||
24 | in connection with the operation of a motor vehicle or
| ||||||

are not settled pursuant to this | ||||||
5 | subdivision (11) shall be
heard and
determined by the Court | ||||||
6 | of Claims and may not be filed or adjudicated
in any other | ||||||
7 | forum. The Attorney General of the State of Illinois or
the | ||||||
8 | Attorney General's designee shall be the attorney with | ||||||
9 | respect
to all public liability
self-insurance claims that | ||||||
10 | are not settled pursuant to this
subdivision (11)
and | ||||||
11 | therefore result in litigation. The payment of any award of | ||||||
12 | the
Court of Claims entered against the State relating to | ||||||
13 | any public
liability self-insurance claim shall act as a | ||||||
14 | release against any State
employee involved in the | ||||||
15 | occurrence.
| ||||||
16 | (12) Administer a plan the purpose of which is to make | ||||||
17 | payments
on final
settlements or final judgments in | ||||||

indemnification expenses for | ||||||
22 | employees of the Department of Transportation,
the | ||||||
23 | Illinois State Police, and the Secretary of State

25 | this subdivision (12) has the same
meaning as under | ||||||
26 | subsection (b) of Section 1 of the State Employee
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Indemnification Act. Subject to sufficient appropriation, | ||||||
2 | the Director shall approve payment of any claim, without | ||||||
3 | regard to fiscal year limitations, presented to
the | ||||||
4 | Director
that is supported by a final settlement or final | ||||||
5 | judgment when the Attorney
General and the chief officer of | ||||||
6 | the public body against whose employee the
claim or cause | ||||||
7 | of action is asserted certify to the Director that
the | ||||||
8 | claim is in
accordance with the State Employee | ||||||
9 | Indemnification Act and that they
approve
of the payment. | ||||||
10 | In no event shall an amount in excess of $150,000 be paid | ||||||
11 | from
this plan to or for the benefit of any claimant.
| ||||||
12 | (13) Administer a plan the purpose of which is to make | ||||||
13 | payments
on final
settlements or final judgments for | ||||||
14 | employee wage claims in situations where
there was an | ||||||
15 | appropriation relevant to the wage claim, the fiscal year
| ||||||
16 | and lapse period have expired, and sufficient funds were | ||||||
17 | available
to
pay the claim. The plan shall be funded | ||||||
18 | through
appropriations from the General Revenue Fund | ||||||
19 | specifically designated for
that purpose.
| ||||||
20 | Subject to sufficient appropriation, the Director is | ||||||
21 | authorized to pay any wage claim presented to the
Director
| ||||||
22 | that is supported by a final settlement or final judgment | ||||||
23 | when the chief
officer of the State agency employing the | ||||||
24 | claimant certifies to the
Director that
the claim is a | ||||||
25 | valid wage claim and that the fiscal year and lapse period
| ||||||
26 | have expired. Payment for claims that are properly |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | submitted and certified
as valid by the Director
shall | ||||||
2 | include interest accrued at the rate of 7% per annum from | ||||||
3 | the
forty-fifth day after the claims are received by the | ||||||
4 | Department or 45 days from the date on which the amount of | ||||||
5 | payment
is agreed upon, whichever is later, until the date | ||||||
6 | the claims are submitted
to the Comptroller for payment. | ||||||
7 | When the Attorney General has filed an
appearance in any | ||||||
8 | proceeding concerning a wage claim settlement or
judgment, | ||||||
9 | the Attorney General shall certify to the Director that the | ||||||
10 | wage claim is valid before any payment is
made. In no event | ||||||
11 | shall an amount in excess of $150,000 be paid from this
| ||||||
12 | plan to or for the benefit of any claimant.
| ||||||
13 | Nothing in Public Act 84-961 shall be construed to | ||||||
14 | affect in any manner the jurisdiction of the
Court of | ||||||
15 | Claims concerning wage claims made against the State of | ||||||
16 | Illinois.
| ||||||
17 | (14) Prepare and, in the discretion of the Director, | ||||||
18 | implement a program for
self-insurance for official
| ||||||
19 | fidelity and surety bonds for officers and employees as | ||||||
20 | authorized by the
Official Bond Act.

23 | Sec. 405-411. Consolidation of workers' compensation | ||||||
24 | functions. | ||||||
25 | (a) Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Director of Central Management Services, working in | ||||||
2 | cooperation with the Director of any other agency, department, | ||||||
3 | board, or commission directly responsible to the Governor, may | ||||||
4 | direct the consolidation, within the Department of Central | ||||||
5 | Management Services, of those workers' compensation functions | ||||||
6 | at that agency, department, board, or commission that are | ||||||
7 | suitable for centralization. | ||||||
8 | Upon receipt of the written direction to transfer workers' | ||||||
9 | compensation functions to the Department of Central Management | ||||||
10 | Services, the personnel, equipment, and property (both real and | ||||||
11 | personal) directly relating to the transferred functions shall | ||||||
12 | be transferred to the Department of Central Management | ||||||
13 | Services, and the relevant documents, records, and | ||||||
14 | correspondence shall be transferred or copied, as the Director | ||||||
15 | may prescribe. | ||||||
16 | (b) Upon receiving written direction from the Director of | ||||||
17 | Central Management Services, the Comptroller and Treasurer are | ||||||
18 | authorized to transfer the unexpended balance of any | ||||||
19 | appropriations related to the workers' compensation functions | ||||||
20 | transferred to the Department of Central Management Services | ||||||
21 | and shall make the necessary fund transfers from the General | ||||||
22 | Revenue Fund, any special fund in the State treasury, or any | ||||||
23 | other federal or State trust fund held by the Treasurer to the | ||||||
24 | Workers' Compensation Revolving Fund for use by the Department | ||||||
25 | of Central Management Services in support of workers' | ||||||
26 | compensation functions or any other related costs or expenses |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the Department of Central Management Services. | ||||||
2 | (c) The rights of employees and the State and its agencies | ||||||
3 | under the Personnel Code and applicable collective bargaining | ||||||
4 | agreements or under any pension, retirement, or annuity plan | ||||||
5 | shall not be affected by any transfer under this Section. | ||||||
6 | (d) The functions transferred to the Department of Central | ||||||
7 | Management Services by this Section shall be vested in and | ||||||
8 | shall be exercised by the Department of Central Management | ||||||
9 | Services. Each act done in the exercise of those functions | ||||||
10 | shall have the same legal effect as if done by the agencies, | ||||||
11 | offices, divisions, departments, bureaus, boards and | ||||||
12 | commissions from which they were transferred. | ||||||
13 | Every person or other entity shall be subject to the same | ||||||
14 | obligations and duties and any penalties, civil or criminal, | ||||||
15 | arising therefrom, and shall have the same rights arising from | ||||||
16 | the exercise of such rights, powers, and duties as had been | ||||||
17 | exercised by the agencies, offices, divisions, departments, | ||||||
18 | bureaus, boards, and commissions from which they were | ||||||
19 | transferred. | ||||||
20 | Whenever reports or notices are now required to be made or | ||||||
21 | given or papers or documents furnished or served by any person | ||||||
22 | in regards to the functions transferred to or upon the | ||||||
23 | agencies, offices, divisions, departments, bureaus, boards, | ||||||
24 | and commissions from which the functions were transferred, the | ||||||
25 | same shall be made, given, furnished or served in the same | ||||||
26 | manner to or upon the Department of Central Management |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Services. | ||||||
2 | This Section does not affect any act done, ratified, or | ||||||
3 | cancelled or any right occurring or established or any action | ||||||
4 | or proceeding had or commenced in an administrative, civil, or | ||||||
5 | criminal cause regarding the functions transferred, but those | ||||||
6 | proceedings may be continued by the Department of Central | ||||||
7 | Management Services. | ||||||
8 | This Section does not affect the legality of any rules in | ||||||
9 | the Illinois Administrative Code regarding the functions | ||||||
10 | transferred in this Section that are in force on the effective | ||||||
11 | date of this Section. If necessary, however, the affected | ||||||
12 | agencies shall propose, adopt, or repeal rules, rule | ||||||
13 | amendments, and rule recodifications as appropriate to | ||||||
14 | effectuate this Section.
| ||||||
15 | (e) There is hereby created within the Department of | ||||||
16 | Central Management Services an advisory body to be known as the | ||||||

3 | may, in consultation with the agencies under his or her | ||||||

10 | information may submit its registration number, with a | ||||||
11 | confirmation that the portal information remains current, as | ||||||
12 | part of its response to a competitive selection or a | ||||||
13 | contracting process, rather than submit the same information in | ||||||
14 | full. One or more chief procurement officers may jointly | ||||||
15 | operate a vendor portal if a single portal would better serve | ||||||
16 | the needs of the State agencies and the vendor community. A | ||||||

18 | and contracts under his or her jurisdiction, the registration | ||||||
19 | from another chief procurement officer's vendor portal. This | ||||||

25 | and manage its program operation. |

8 | compliance with the registration requirements as of the date | ||||||
9 | bids or proposals are due unless the certificate is submitted | ||||||
10 | to the agency with the bid or proposal . | ||||||
11 | (h) A registration, and any changes to a registration, must | ||||||
12 | include the business entity's verification of accuracy and | ||||||
13 | subjects the business entity to the penalties of the laws of | ||||||
14 | this State for perjury. | ||||||
15 | In addition to any penalty under Section 9-35 of the | ||||||
16 | Election Code, intentional, willful, or material failure to | ||||||
17 | disclose information required for registration shall render | ||||||
18 | the contract, bid, proposal, or other procurement relationship | ||||||

8 | any other state of bribery
or attempting to bribe an | ||||||
9 | officer or employee of the State of
Illinois or any other | ||||||
10 | state in that
officer's or employee's official capacity; or
| ||||||
11 | (2) has made an admission of guilt of that conduct that

| ||||||
14 | (b) Businesses. No business shall be barred from
| ||||||
15 | contracting with any unit of State or
local government, or | ||||||
16 | subcontracting under such a contract, as a result of a | ||||||
17 | conviction under this Section of
any employee or agent of the
| ||||||
18 | business if the employee or agent is no longer employed by the
| ||||||
19 | business and:
| ||||||
20 | (1) the business has been finally adjudicated not
| ||||||
21 | guilty; or
| ||||||
22 | (2) the business demonstrates to the governmental
| ||||||
23 | entity with which it seeks to
contract or which is a | ||||||
24 | signatory to the contract to which the subcontract relates, | ||||||
25 | and that entity finds that the commission of the offense
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | was not authorized, requested,
commanded, or performed by a | ||||||
2 | director, officer, or high managerial
agent on behalf of | ||||||
3 | the
business as provided in paragraph (2) of subsection (a) | ||||||
4 | of Section
5-4 of the Criminal Code of
1961.
| ||||||
5 | (c) Conduct on behalf of business. For purposes of this
| ||||||
6 | Section, when an official, agent,
or employee of a business | ||||||
7 | committed the bribery or attempted
bribery on behalf of the | ||||||
8 | business
and in accordance with the direction or authorization | ||||||
9 | of a responsible
official of the business, the
business shall | ||||||
10 | be chargeable with the conduct.
| ||||||
11 | (d) Certification. Every bid submitted to and contract
| ||||||
12 | executed by the State and every subcontract subject to Section | ||||||
13 | 20-120 of this Code shall
contain a certification by the | ||||||
14 | contractor or the subcontractor, respectively, that the | ||||||
15 | contractor or subcontractor is
not barred from being awarded a
| ||||||
16 | contract or subcontract under this Section and acknowledges | ||||||
17 | that the chief procurement officer may declare the related | ||||||
18 | contract void if any certifications required by this Section | ||||||
19 | are false. If the false certification is made by a | ||||||
20 | subcontractor, then the contractor's submitted bid and the | ||||||
21 | executed contract may not be declared void, unless the | ||||||
22 | contractor refuses to terminate the subcontract upon the | ||||||
23 | State's request after a finding that the subcontract's | ||||||
24 | certification was false. A contractor or subcontractor who
| ||||||
25 | makes a false statement, material
to the certification, commits | ||||||
26 | a Class 3 felony.

3 | employee to provide general information about products, | ||||||

6 | (ii) responds to a communication initiated by an employee of | ||||||
7 | the State for the purposes of providing information to evaluate | ||||||
8 | new products, trends, services, or technologies. | ||||||
9 | Nothing in this Section prohibits a vendor developing | ||||||
10 | technology, goods, or services from bidding or offering to | ||||||
11 | supply that technology or those goods or services if the | ||||||
12 | subject demonstrated to the State represents industry trends | ||||||
13 | and innovation and is not specifically designed to meet the | ||||||
14 | State's needs. | ||||||
15 | For purposes of this subsection (e), "business" includes | ||||||
16 | all individuals with whom a business is affiliated, including, | ||||||
17 | but not limited to, any officer, agent, employee, consultant, | ||||||

4 | Sec. 50-11. Debt delinquency.
| ||||||
5 | (a) No person shall submit a bid for or enter into a | ||||||
6 | contract or subcontract under this Code if that person knows or | ||||||
7 | should know that he or she or
any affiliate is
delinquent in | ||||||
8 | the payment of any debt to the State, unless the person or
| ||||||
9 | affiliate has
entered into a deferred payment plan to pay off | ||||||
10 | the debt. For purposes of this
Section, the phrase "delinquent | ||||||
11 | in the payment of any debt" shall be determined
by the Debt | ||||||
12 | Collection Bureau.
For purposes of this Section, the term | ||||||
13 | "affiliate" means any entity that (1)
directly,
indirectly, or | ||||||
14 | constructively controls another entity, (2) is directly,
| ||||||
15 | indirectly, or
constructively controlled by another entity, or | ||||||
16 | (3) is subject to the control
of
a common
entity. For purposes | ||||||
17 | of this subsection (a), a person controls an entity if the
| ||||||
18 | person owns,
directly or individually, more than 10% of the | ||||||
19 | voting securities of that
entity.
As used in
this subsection | ||||||
20 | (a), the term "voting security" means a security that (1)
| ||||||
21 | confers upon the
holder the right to vote for the election of | ||||||
22 | members of the board of directors
or similar
governing body of | ||||||
23 | the business or (2) is convertible into, or entitles the
holder | ||||||
24 | to receive
upon its exercise, a security that confers such a | ||||||
25 | right to vote. A general
partnership
interest is a voting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | security.
| ||||||
2 | (b) Every bid submitted to and contract executed by the | ||||||
3 | State and every subcontract subject to Section 20-120 of this | ||||||
4 | Code shall contain
a certification by the bidder, contractor, | ||||||
5 | or subcontractor, respectively, that the contractor or the | ||||||
6 | subcontractor and its
affiliate is not barred
from being | ||||||
7 | awarded a contract or subcontract under this Section and
| ||||||
8 | acknowledges that the chief procurement officer may declare the | ||||||
9 | related contract void if
any of the certifications completed | ||||||
10 | pursuant to this subsection (b) are false. If the false | ||||||
11 | certification is made by a subcontractor, then the contractor's | ||||||
12 | submitted bid and the executed contract may not be declared | ||||||
13 | void, unless the contractor refuses to terminate the | ||||||
14 | subcontract upon the State's request after a finding that the | ||||||
15 | subcontract's certification was false.

20 | Sec. 50-12. Collection and remittance of Illinois Use Tax.
| ||||||
21 | (a) No person shall enter into a contract with a State | ||||||
22 | agency or enter into a subcontract under this
Code
unless the | ||||||
23 | person and all affiliates of the person collect and remit | ||||||
24 | Illinois
Use Tax on all
sales of tangible personal property | ||||||
25 | into the State of Illinois in accordance
with the
provisions of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the Illinois Use Tax Act regardless of whether the person or
| ||||||
2 | affiliate is a
"retailer maintaining a place of business within | ||||||
3 | this State" as defined in
Section 2 of the
Use Tax Act. For | ||||||
4 | purposes of this Section, the term "affiliate" means any
entity | ||||||
5 | that (1)
directly, indirectly, or constructively controls | ||||||
6 | another entity, (2) is
directly, indirectly, or
constructively | ||||||
7 | controlled by another entity, or (3) is subject to the control | ||||||
8 | of
a common
entity. For purposes of this subsection (a), an | ||||||
9 | entity controls another entity
if it owns,
directly or | ||||||
10 | individually, more than 10% of the voting securities of that | ||||||
11 | entity.
As used in
this subsection (a), the term "voting | ||||||
12 | security" means a security that (1)
confers upon the
holder the | ||||||
13 | right to vote for the election of members of the board of | ||||||
14 | directors
or similar
governing body of the business or (2) is | ||||||
15 | convertible into, or entitles the
holder to receive
upon its | ||||||
16 | exercise, a security that confers such a right to vote. A | ||||||
17 | general
partnership
interest is a voting security.
| ||||||
18 | (b) Every bid submitted and contract executed by the State | ||||||
19 | and every subcontract subject to Section 20-120 of this Code | ||||||
20 | shall contain
a
certification by the bidder, contractor, or | ||||||
21 | subcontractor, respectively, that the bidder, contractor, or | ||||||
22 | subcontractor is not
barred from
bidding for or entering into a | ||||||
23 | contract under subsection (a) of this Section
and
acknowledges | ||||||
24 | that the chief procurement officer may declare
the
related | ||||||
25 | contract void if any of the certifications completed pursuant | ||||||
26 | to this subsection (b) are
false. If the false certification is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | made by a subcontractor, then the contractor's submitted bid | ||||||
2 | and the executed contract may not be declared void, unless the | ||||||
3 | contractor refuses to terminate the subcontract upon the | ||||||
4 | State's request after a finding that the subcontract's | ||||||
5 | certification was false.

12 | willful or knowing violation of
the Environmental Protection | ||||||
13 | Act shall do business with the State
of Illinois or any State | ||||||
14 | agency or enter into a subcontract that is subject to this Code | ||||||
15 | from the date of the order containing the
finding of violation | ||||||
16 | until 5 years after that date, unless the person or
business | ||||||
17 | can show that no person involved in the violation continues to | ||||||
18 | have
any involvement with the business.
| ||||||
19 | (b) A person or business otherwise barred from doing | ||||||
20 | business with the
State of Illinois or any State agency or | ||||||
21 | subcontracting under this Code by subsection (a) may be allowed | ||||||
22 | to do
business with the State of Illinois or any State agency | ||||||
23 | if it is shown that
there is no practicable alternative to the | ||||||
24 | State to contracting with that
person or business.
| ||||||
25 | (c) Every bid submitted to and contract executed by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State and every subcontract subject to Section 20-120 of this | ||||||
2 | Code shall contain
a certification by the bidder, contractor, | ||||||
3 | or subcontractor, respectively, that the bidder, contractor, | ||||||
4 | or subcontractor is
not barred from being awarded a contract or | ||||||
5 | subcontract under this Section and acknowledges that the | ||||||
6 | contracting State agency may declare the related
contract void | ||||||
7 | if any of the certifications completed pursuant to this | ||||||
8 | subsection (c) are
false. If the false certification is made by | ||||||
9 | a subcontractor, then the contractor's submitted bid and the | ||||||
10 | executed contract may not be declared void, unless the | ||||||
11 | contractor refuses to terminate the subcontract upon the | ||||||
12 | State's request after a finding that the subcontract's | ||||||
13 | certification was false.

conflict to the chief | ||||||
21 | procurement officers, State purchasing officers, their
| ||||||
22 | designees, and executive officers so they may adequately | ||||||

4 | originally disclosed by the contractor or subcontractor, the | ||||||
5 | Board shall provide written notice to the contractor or | ||||||
6 | subcontractor that is identified, discovered, or reasonably | ||||||
7 | suspected of having a potential conflict of interest. The | ||||||

11 | date and time to be determined by the Board, but which in no | ||||||
12 | event shall occur later than 15 days after the date of the | ||||||
13 | request. Upon consideration, the The Board shall recommend, in | ||||||

15 | subcontract weighing the best interest of the State of | ||||||
16 | Illinois. All recommendations shall be submitted to the | ||||||
17 | Executive Ethics Commission chief procurement officer . The | ||||||
18 | Executive Ethics Commission chief procurement officer must | ||||||
19 | hold a public hearing within 30 days after receiving the | ||||||
20 | Board's recommendation if the Procurement Policy Board makes a | ||||||
21 | recommendation to (i) void a contract or (ii) void a bid or | ||||||
22 | offer and the chief procurement officer selected or intends to | ||||||
23 | award the contract to the bidder or offeror. A chief | ||||||
24 | procurement officer is prohibited from awarding a contract | ||||||
25 | before a hearing if the Board recommendation does not support a | ||||||
26 | bid or offer. The recommendation and proceedings of any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hearing, if applicable, shall become part of the contract, bid, | ||||||
2 | or proposal file and shall be available to the public. | ||||||
3 | (e) These thresholds and disclosure do not relieve the | ||||||
4 | chief procurement
officer, the State purchasing officer, or
| ||||||
5 | their designees from reasonable care and diligence for any | ||||||
6 | contract, bid,
offer,
or proposal. The chief procurement | ||||||
7 | officer, the State purchasing officer, or
their designees shall | ||||||
8 | be
responsible for using any reasonably known and publicly | ||||||
9 | available information
to
discover any undisclosed potential | ||||||
10 | conflict of interest and act to protect the
best interest of | ||||||
11 | the State of Illinois. | ||||||
12 | (f) Inadvertent or accidental failure to fully disclose | ||||||
13 | shall render the
contract, bid, proposal, subcontract, or | ||||||
14 | relationship voidable by the chief procurement
officer if he or | ||||||
15 | she deems it in
the best interest of the State of Illinois and, | ||||||
16 | at his or her discretion, may
be cause for barring from future | ||||||
17 | contracts, bids, proposals, subcontracts, or
relationships | ||||||
18 | with the State for a period of up to 2 years. | ||||||
19 | (g) Intentional, willful, or material failure to disclose | ||||||
20 | shall render the
contract, bid, proposal, subcontract, or | ||||||
21 | relationship voidable by the chief procurement
officer if he or | ||||||
22 | she deems it in
the best interest of the State of Illinois and | ||||||
23 | shall result in debarment from
future contracts, bids, | ||||||
24 | proposals, subcontracts, or relationships for a period of not | ||||||
25 | less
than 2 years and not more than 10 years. Reinstatement | ||||||
26 | after 2 years and
before 10 years must be reviewed and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | commented on in writing by the Governor
of the State of | ||||||
2 | Illinois, or by an executive ethics board or commission he or
| ||||||
3 | she
might designate. The comment shall be returned to the | ||||||
4 | responsible chief
procurement officer who must
rule in writing | ||||||
5 | whether and when to reinstate. | ||||||
6 | (h) In addition, all disclosures shall note any other | ||||||
7 | current or pending
contracts, proposals, subcontracts, leases, | ||||||
8 | or other ongoing procurement relationships the
bidding, | ||||||
9 | proposing, offering, or subcontracting entity has with any | ||||||
10 | other unit of State
government and shall clearly identify the | ||||||
11 | unit and the contract, proposal,
lease, or other relationship. | ||||||
12 | (i) The contractor or bidder has a continuing obligation to | ||||||
13 | supplement the disclosure required by this Section throughout | ||||||
14 | the bidding process or during the term of any contract. | ||||||
