Bill > SB1861

This bill amends the Illinois Procurement Code to specifically exempt procurements made in connection with Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site from the standard procurement requirements. The bill adds a new provision (paragraph 27) to the list of procurement exemptions in Section 1-10 of the Procurement Code, which means that purchases and contracts related to the historic site will no longer need to follow the typical competitive bidding and procurement processes that most state agencies must use. This exemption allows the site more flexibility in how it acquires goods and services. The change appears to be a targeted, narrow modification to state procurement law that will apply specifically to Lincoln's New Salem State Historic Site, potentially simplifying administrative processes for managing the historic site's operational needs.
