SB2272 amends the Illinois Procurement Code to allow set-asides for employment social enterprises. These are mission-driven businesses that provide employment opportunities and supportive services to individuals facing significant barriers to employment. The bill mandates that a fair proportion of construction, supply, and service contracts be designated for these enterprises. It also requires the Commission on Equity and Inclusion to compile and report data on these enterprises and their contracts. The aim is to promote economic inclusion, reduce recidivism, and strengthen local economies.
