Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with changes. Provides that when a State agency or institution of higher education contract (rather than only a State contract) is to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, an otherwise qualified bidder who will fulfill the contract through the use of compostable foodware or recyclable foodware may be given preference over other bidders unable to do so; provided that the bid is not more than 5% greater than the cost of products that are single-use plastic disposable foodware. Provides that the contract awarded the cost preference shall also include the option of providing the State agency or institution of higher education with single-use plastic straws. Prohibits the procurement and use of single-use plastic disposable foodware at State parks and natural areas (removes the Illinois State Fair from this prohibition). Removes provision specifying that the prohibition does not apply to the procurement of single-use plastic disposable straws if a State agency is servicing medically vulnerable persons. Provides that the prohibition on the use of single-use plastic disposable foodware does not apply to the procurement of supplies for the Illinois State Fair. Makes conforming changes.
