(30 ILCS 105/45)
Sec. 45. Award of capital funds. Each award by grant or loan of State funds of $250,000 or more for capital construction costs or professional services is conditioned upon the recipient's written certification that the recipient shall comply with the business enterprise program practices for minority-owned businesses, female-owned businesses, and businesses owned by persons with disabilities of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act (30 ILCS 575/) and the equal employment practices of Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/2-105). This Section, however, does not apply to any grant or loan (i) for which a grant or loan agreement was executed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, (ii) for which prior-incurred costs are being reimbursed, or (iii) for a federally funded program under which the requirement of this Section would contravene federal law. Each recipient shall submit the written certification and business enterprise program plan for minority-owned businesses, female-owned businesses, and businesses owned by persons with disabilities before signing the relevant grant or loan agreement. Each grant or loan agreement shall include a provision that the grant or loan recipient agrees to comply with the provisions of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act (30 ILCS 575/) and the equal employment practices of Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/2-105).
Each business enterprise program plan shall apply only to the State-funded portion of the relevant capital project and must be in compliance with all certification and other requirements of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act.
