vendor includes but is not limited to sellers of goods and
services, including community-based organizations that are
licensed to provide prevention, intervention, or treatment
services and supports for persons with developmental
disabilities, mental illness, and substance abuse problems.
For the purposes of this Act, "appropriate State official
or agency" is defined as the Director or Chief Executive or his
