AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 5511
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 5511, AS AMENDED,
with reference to page and line numbers of Senate Amendment
No. 1, by replacing line 11 on page 61 through line 19 on page

"Section 7-5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by
adding Section 45-46 as follows:
(30 ILCS 500/45-46 new)
Sec. 45-46. Mid-size businesses.
(a) As used in the Section, "mid-size business" means a
business that is independently owned and operated and that is
not dominant in its field of operation. "Mid-size business"
includes a construction business with annual sales and
receipts in excess of $14,000,000 but not over $45,000,000.
(a-5) This Section applies only to construction-related
procurements for the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.

(b) The chief procurement officer shall adopt rules to
establish additional criteria to designate mid-size businesses
for the purposes of the mid-size business set-asides described
in subsection (c), including the number of employees and
annual sales and receipts of the business. When computing the
size status of a potential contractor, annual sales and
receipts of the potential contractor and all of its affiliates
shall be included. The maximum number of employees and the
maximum annual sales and receipts that a mid-size business may
have under the rules adopted by the chief procurement officer
may vary from industry to industry, to the extent necessary to
reflect differing characteristics of those industries, subject
to the limitation that no business shall qualify as a mid-size
business if its annual sales and receipts exceed $45,000,000.
(c) The applicable chief procurement officer shall
designate a fair proportion, as determined by the applicable
chief procurement officer in consultation with the Illinois
State Toll Highway Authority, of construction,
construction-related, and construction support contracts as
mid-size business set-asides for award to mid-size businesses
in Illinois. Advertisements for bids or offers for these
contracts shall specify designation as mid-size business
set-asides. In awarding the contracts, only bids or offers
from qualified mid-size businesses shall be considered. The
Illinois State Toll Highway Authority shall prepare an annual
report setting forth the use of this Section during the
