Directs the Auditor General to conduct a management audit of the State's procurement process for inmate telephone service vendors used by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Audit must examine whether the procurement process complied with applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies, and whether evaluative criteria were adequate and uniformly applied to competing vendors.

Audit must review whether vendor selection decisions and protest resolutions were adequately supported and documented, and whether bids complied with solicitation terms.

Audit must determine whether the Department of Central Management Services considered the cost impact on families, friends, and the general public who pay for inmate calls during the procurement and protest resolution process.

Requires the Auditor General to report findings and recommendations to the General Assembly upon completion of the audit.
