requirements, as well as the other requirements of this
Section, shall be permitted to solicit State employees or State
annuitants for voluntary contributions, and the Comptroller

HB4426 - 27 - LRB101 18833 RJF 68290 b

and unit of measurement of the supplies or services on the
contract obligation document as required by the Comptroller. If

supplies or services, the Comptroller shall provide that
information on his or her official website. Any cancellation or
modification to any such contract liability shall be filed with
the Comptroller within 30 calendar days of its execution.

been filed within 30 calendar days of execution, the

to the Comptroller and Treasurer setting forth the
circumstances and reasons why the contract could not be reduced
to writing before the supplies were received or services were
performed. A waiver of this subsection must be approved by the
Comptroller and Treasurer. This Section shall not apply to
emergency purchases if notice of the emergency purchase is
filed with the Procurement Policy Board and published in the
Bulletin as required by this Code.
