IL HB0220

Municipalities, counties, and road districts receiving more than $100,000 in motor fuel tax distributions in the previous fiscal year must implement disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) programs by July 1, 2018 to receive future distributions.

DBE programs must set inclusion goals for minority, disadvantaged, and female-owned businesses in both professional services and construction procurement contracts.

Programs must be certified annually by the Department of Transportation and be substantially similar to IDOT's regional DBE programs.

Department of Transportation shall assist local governments in implementing DBE programs, designate a point of contact, and provide subcontracting goal estimates based on existing State and federal program data.

Department of Transportation may adopt rules regarding certification of local DBE programs.
