A BILL FOR
HB4608 LRB104 19257 HLH 32703 b
AN ACT concerning finance.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by
changing Section 45-46 as follows:
(30 ILCS 500/45-46)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)
Sec. 45-46. Mid-size businesses.
(a) As used in this the Section, "mid-size business" means
a business that is independently owned and operated and that
is not dominant in its field of operation. "Mid-size business"
includes a construction business with annual sales and
receipts in excess of $14,000,000 but not over $45,000,000.
(a-5) This Section applies only to construction-related
procurements for the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.
(b) The chief procurement officer shall adopt rules to
establish additional criteria to designate mid-size businesses
for the purposes of the mid-size business set-asides described
in subsection (c), including the number of employees and
annual sales and receipts of the business. When computing the
size status of a potential contractor, annual sales and
receipts of the potential contractor and all of its affiliates
shall be included. The maximum number of employees and the

HB4608 - 2 - LRB104 19257 HLH 32703 b
maximum annual sales and receipts that a mid-size business may
have under the rules adopted by the chief procurement officer
may vary from industry to industry, to the extent necessary to
reflect differing characteristics of those industries, subject
to the limitation that no business shall qualify as a mid-size
business if its annual sales and receipts exceed $45,000,000.
(c) The applicable chief procurement officer shall
designate a fair proportion, as determined by the applicable
chief procurement officer in consultation with the Illinois
State Toll Highway Authority, of construction,
construction-related, and construction support contracts as
mid-size business set-asides for award to mid-size businesses
in Illinois. Advertisements for bids or offers for these
contracts shall specify designation as mid-size business
set-asides. In awarding the contracts, only bids or offers
from qualified mid-size businesses shall be considered. The
Illinois State Toll Highway Authority may award up to 4
contracts pursuant to this Section per calendar year and may
award up to a total of 10 contracts pursuant to this Section.
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority shall prepare an
annual report setting forth the use of this Section during the
preceding fiscal year and shall provide that report to the
applicable chief procurement officer no later than March 1 of
each calendar year. This Section is inoperable 5 years after
the award of the first contract under this Section. This
Section is repealed on July 1, 2031 5 years after the effective

HB4608 - 3 - LRB104 19257 HLH 32703 b
date of this Section.
