Bill > SB1808

This bill amends the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act to expand reporting requirements for hospitals regarding their capital expenditures and purchasing. Specifically, the bill removes the previous $200,000 threshold for reporting capital expenditures, requiring hospitals to submit an annual report detailing all capital expenditures regardless of amount. The bill introduces a new requirement that even if a hospital reports zero capital expenditures, it must still include a comprehensive section outlining its total purchasing budget for all goods and services purchased in the preceding fiscal year. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that require hospitals to report on their spending goals and actual expenditures with female-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and small business enterprises, including details such as the types of capital expenditures they will seek diverse suppliers for, their vendor engagement plans, challenges in finding quality vendors, and contact information for potential vendors. The bill also mandates that the Health Facilities and Services Review Board publish these reports on its website and maintain them for at least five years, promoting transparency in hospital spending and supplier diversity efforts.
