HB3958 Summary

• Amends the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act by modifying the definition of "State agencies" in 30 ILCS 575/2.

• Removes "other State constitutional officers" from the definition of entities excluded from the "State agencies" definition.

• Clarifies that "State agencies" means all state departments, officers, boards, commissions, institutions and bodies, but specifically excludes the Boards of Trustees of eight public universities, municipalities, and other local governmental units.
