SB 2724

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Provides that, if a public institution of higher education or a State agency uses a value-added reseller for the purchase of any information technology hardware under the Code, then that public institution of higher education or State agency may require the value-added reseller to include in its bid an attestation from the manufacturer of the goods stating that the manufacturer offers the goods for sale to all value-added resellers at substantially the same terms that apply to the bidder's purchase of the goods. Requires the Department of Innovation and Technology and the University of Illinois each to include those requirements when making at least one procurement of information technology hardware during State fiscal year 2025. Effective immediately.
