Requires the portal to include: (1) all active and pending litigation against the DBE program; (2) information on the Department's procedures and policies to comply with any court orders; (3) the names of any prime contractors or subcontractors who have brought claims against the Department or exercised any rights pursuant to a court order to eliminate any DBE goals for any projects; (4) all projects that have had DBE goals removed pursuant to litigation; and (5) all federal administrative actions related to the DBE program and the Department's policies and procedures it has implemented to comply with any federal actions.

AI Summary
This bill requires the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to create a public online information portal specifically focused on the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program, which is designed to help minority- and women-owned businesses participate in transportation contracts. The portal must comprehensively document various aspects of DBE program challenges, including active and pending lawsuits (with links to legal documents), the department's strategies for complying with court orders, the names of contractors who have challenged DBE goals, specific projects where DBE goals have been legally removed, and all federal administrative actions related to the DBE program. By mandating this transparent reporting, the bill aims to provide greater public visibility into legal challenges and administrative actions affecting the DBE program, potentially increasing accountability and understanding of how the program is being implemented and modified. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
