Bill > HB3119

This bill establishes the Prairie State Infrastructure Protection Act, which restricts businesses and government entities in Illinois from entering into contracts related to critical infrastructure with companies associated with certain countries deemed potential threats to national security. The bill defines critical infrastructure as communication systems, cybersecurity systems, electric grids, hazardous waste treatment systems, and water treatment facilities. It allows the Governor to designate countries as threats to critical infrastructure in consultation with the Illinois State Police, and prohibits contracts with companies that are owned or controlled by citizens or governments of China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, or other designated countries. The restrictions apply to companies that would have direct or remote access to critical infrastructure, regardless of whether the company's securities are publicly traded. The bill also amends the Illinois Procurement Code to extend these prohibitions to governmental entities, ensuring that no state agency or political subdivision can enter into agreements with companies from these potentially threatening countries that could compromise the state's critical infrastructure systems.
