Section 5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by
changing Section 45-10 as follows:
(30 ILCS 500/45-10)
Sec. 45-10. Resident bidders.
(a) Amount of preference. When a contract is to be awarded
to the the lowest responsible bidder, a resident bidder shall
be allowed a preference as against a non-resident bidder from
any state that gives or requires a preference to bidders from
that state. The preference shall be equal to the preference
given or required by the state of the non-resident bidder.
Further, if only non-resident bidders are bidding, the
purchasing agency is within its right to specify that Illinois
labor and manufacturing locations be used as a part of the
manufacturing process, if applicable. This specification may
be negotiated as part of the solicitation process.
(b) Residency. A resident bidder is a person authorized to
transact business in this State and having a bona fide
establishment for transacting business within this State where
it was actually transacting business on the date when any bid
for a public contract is first advertised or announced. A

SB2778 - 2 - LRB096 17228 RCE 32578 b
resident bidder includes a foreign corporation duly authorized
to transact business in this State that has a bona fide
establishment for transacting business within this State where
it was actually transacting business on the date when any bid
for a public contract is first advertised or announced.
(c) Federal funds. This Section does not apply to any
contract for any project as to which federal funds are
available for expenditure when its provisions may be in
conflict with federal law or federal regulation.
