Bill Summary — HB 3788 (CMS‑NONPROFIT LIST)

Bill number: HB 3788
Sponsor: Rep. Kevin John Olickal (added Co‑Sponsor Rep. Edgar González, Jr.)
Statutory change: Adds 20 ILCS 405/405‑541 to the Department of Central Management Services Law
Introduced: 02/18/2025
Companion bill: SB 2829

Purpose

Require the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) to compile and maintain a publicly accessible list of nonprofit businesses that employ persons with developmental disabilities, and to make that list available to State agencies so agencies can notify those businesses of State procurement opportunities.

Key provisions

  • Adds a new section (405‑541) to the CMS law (20 ILCS 405).
  • Directs CMS to compile a list of nonprofit businesses that employ persons with developmental disabilities.
  • Requires the list be accessible to State agencies for the purpose of informing those nonprofits about procurement opportunities with the State.
  • The law does not create procurement set‑asides, preferences, or mandatory contracting goals—its stated function is informational/outreach.

Who is affected

  • Nonprofit businesses that employ persons with developmental disabilities: may receive increased awareness of procurement opportunities and outreach from State agencies.
  • State agencies and procurement officers: gain a centralized resource to identify and contact eligible nonprofits for contracting opportunities.
  • Department of Central Management Services: responsible for compiling, maintaining, and providing access to the list (administrative and IT workload).
  • Indirectly, persons with developmental disabilities may benefit through potential expansion of employment opportunities if outreach increases contracting with these nonprofits.

Implementation, administrative impact, and limitations

  • CMS must establish criteria and processes to identify and verify qualifying nonprofit businesses, collect and maintain data, and provide access to State agencies (method and frequency not specified).
  • No funding, staffing, reporting deadlines, or enforcement mechanisms are specified in the statute as introduced.
  • The requirement is informational—does not require agencies to award contracts to listed entities or change procurement rules.
  • Potential implementation issues include data privacy, verification standards, ongoing maintenance costs, and how agencies incorporate the list into procurement outreach.

Legislative status and effective date

  • Passed both chambers; enrolled and sent to the Governor.
  • Filed without the Governor’s signature: 06/20/2025.
  • Effective date: 09/01/2025.

Notes

  • The bill is brief and narrowly focused on creating an outreach tool rather than altering procurement law. Stakeholders may seek follow‑up guidance or rules from CMS regarding list enrollment procedures, verification, and accessibility.
