IL SB3185

Governor's Office of Management and Budget must adopt rules by July 1, 2016 implementing federal Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) for all State and federal pass-through awards, including administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit standards.

Governor's Office must adopt supplemental rules by July 1, 2017 covering grant definitions, award terms, application processes, budget requirements, and pre-qualification standards for applicants.

Grant Accountability and Transparency Unit within Governor's Office is responsible for developing staff competency requirements, training standards, disclosure requirements, maintaining debarred parties lists, and coordinating audits and on-site reviews.

Requirements apply to State grant-making agencies and their awards to non-federal entities but do not apply to private awards or direct federal awards to public institutions of higher education.

Pass-through entities and recipients must comply with federal cost accounting standards and audit requirements; federal statutes and regulations take precedence over this Act in case of conflicts except for audit requirements under the Single Audit Act.
