PROCUREMENT-DATA RESIDENCY
What changed between versions
The definition of 'earned credit' was updated to specify that it applies to contracts described in the section where the vendor met the residency requirement during performance.
A new definition for 'Telecommunications service' was added to clarify what services are covered under the new exemption.
The process for issuing credits was changed from a general determination by the Chief Procurement Officer to a specific certification required during the contract closeout procedure if data was stored outside Illinois.
The calculation of earned credits was restructured to explicitly award 2% for storage within Illinois and 4% for storage within an opportunity zone, replacing the previous single credit allocation.
Data center incentives were updated to apply only to procurements using a request for proposals, with points awarded for hosting within the State or an opportunity zone.
A new exemption was added stating that the data residency credit requirements do not apply to contracts primarily for telecommunications services.
The requirement for vendors to maintain records was updated to specify a retention period of at least 3 years after the contract is completed.
