Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(20 ILCS 2705/2705-595)

Sec. 2705-595. Prequalification of minority-owned and women-owned contractors.

The Department shall, within 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, establish a committee to review the rules for prequalification of contractors adopted by the Department at 44 Illinois Administrative Code 650.  The purpose of the review is to determine whether the rules for prequalification operate as a barrier to minority-owned and women-owned contractors becoming prequalified to bid on or make proposals for Department contracts.  The committee shall, in addition to Department staff, be constituted with membership representing the construction industry and minority-owned and women-owned contractors.  The committee shall complete its work and make recommendations for any changes to the rules for prequalification to the Secretary of Transportation within 180 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly.
