IL SB3456

Companies domiciled in foreign adversaries (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Syria) or federally banned corporations are prohibited from bidding on Illinois state and local government contracts.

Bidders must disclose any business operations within the previous 24 months involving contracts with foreign adversaries, their state-owned enterprises, or companies domiciled in those jurisdictions.

Companies with business ties to military entities of foreign adversaries within the previous 60 months are barred from submitting bids on state or local contracts.

False certifications result in civil penalties of $250,000 or twice the contract amount (whichever is greater), contract termination, and a 60-month ban from state contracting.

Exceptions allow contracts with covered companies when no reasonable alternative exists, the Department pre-approves, and not procuring the goods would pose a greater threat to the State.
