        (6) Implement recommendations of the State Property

        Subsequent to payment of a claim on behalf of an
    
employee pursuant to this Section and after reasonable advance written notice to the employee, the Director may exclude the employee from future coverage or limit the coverage under the plan if (i) the Director determines that the claim resulted from an incident in which the employee was grossly negligent or had engaged in willful and wanton misconduct or (ii) the Director determines that the employee is no longer an acceptable risk based on a review of prior accidents in which the employee was at fault and for which payments were made pursuant to this Section.
        The Director is authorized to promulgate

used by State agencies in the administration and payment of workers' compensation claims. For claims filed prior to July 1, 2013, the Department shall initially evaluate and determine the compensability of any injury that is the subject of a workers' compensation claim and provide for the administration and payment of such a claim for all State agencies.

        (10b) No later than January 1, 2013, the chief
    
procurement officer appointed under paragraph (4) of subsection (a) of Section 10-20 of the Illinois Procurement Code (hereinafter "chief procurement officer"), in consultation with the Department of Central Management Services, shall procure one or more private vendors to administer the program providing payments for workers' compensation liability with respect to the employees of all State agencies. The chief procurement officer may procure a single contract applicable to all State agencies or multiple contracts applicable to one or more State agencies. If the chief procurement officer procures a single contract applicable to all State agencies, then the Department of Central Management Services shall be designated as the agency that enters into the contract and shall be responsible for the contract. If the chief procurement officer procures multiple contracts applicable to one or more State agencies, each agency to which the contract applies shall be designated as the agency that shall enter into the contract and shall be responsible for the contract. If the chief procurement officer procures contracts applicable to an individual State agency, the agency subject to the contract shall be designated as the agency responsible for the contract.
        (10c) The procurement of private vendors for the
    
administration of the workers' compensation program for State employees is subject to the provisions of the Illinois Procurement Code and administration by the chief procurement officer.
        (10d) Contracts for the procurement of private
    
vendors for the administration of the workers' compensation program for State employees shall be based upon, but limited to, the following criteria: (i) administrative cost, (ii) service capabilities of the vendor, and (iii) the compensation (including premiums, fees, or other charges). A vendor for the administration of the workers' compensation program for State employees shall provide services, including, but not limited to:
            (A) providing a web-based case management
        
system and provide access to the Office of the Attorney General;
            (B) ensuring claims adjusters are available to
        
provide testimony or information as requested by the Office of the Attorney General;
            (C) establishing a preferred provider program
        
for all State agencies and facilities; and
            (D) authorizing the payment of medical bills at
        
the preferred provider discount rate.
        (10e) By September 15, 2012, the Department of
    
Central Management Services shall prepare a plan to effectuate the transfer of responsibility and administration of the workers' compensation program for State employees to the selected private vendors. The Department shall submit a copy of the plan to the General Assembly.
        (11) Any plan for public liability self-insurance
    
implemented under this Section shall provide that (i) the Department shall attempt to settle and may settle any public liability claim filed against the State of Illinois or any public liability claim filed against a State employee on the basis of an occurrence in the course of the employee's State employment; (ii) any settlement of such a claim is not subject to fiscal year limitations and must be approved by the Director and, in cases of settlements exceeding $100,000, by the Governor; and (iii) a settlement of any public liability claim against the State or a State employee shall require an unqualified release of any right of action against the State and the employee for acts within the scope of the employee's employment giving rise to the claim.
        Whenever and to the extent that a State employee
    
operates a motor vehicle or engages in other activity covered by self-insurance under this Section, the State of Illinois shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the employee against any claim in tort filed against the employee for acts or omissions within the scope of the employee's employment in any proper judicial forum and not settled pursuant to this subdivision (11), provided that this obligation of the State of Illinois shall not exceed a maximum liability of $2,000,000 for any single occurrence in connection with the operation of a motor vehicle or $100,000 per person per occurrence for any other single occurrence, or $500,000 for any single occurrence in connection with the provision of medical care by a licensed physician employee.
        Any claims against the State of Illinois under a
    
self-insurance plan that are not settled pursuant to this subdivision (11) shall be heard and determined by the Court of Claims and may not be filed or adjudicated in any other forum. The Attorney General of the State of Illinois or the Attorney General's designee shall be the attorney with respect to all public liability self-insurance claims that are not settled pursuant to this subdivision (11) and therefore result in litigation. The payment of any award of the Court of Claims entered against the State relating to any public liability self-insurance claim shall act as a release against any State employee involved in the occurrence.
        (12) Administer a plan the purpose of which is to
    
make payments on final settlements or final judgments in accordance with the State Employee Indemnification Act. The plan shall be funded through appropriations from the General Revenue Fund specifically designated for that purpose, except that indemnification expenses for employees of the Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police, and the Secretary of State shall be paid from the Road Fund. The term "employee" as used in this subdivision (12) has the same meaning as under subsection (b) of Section 1 of the State Employee Indemnification Act. Subject to sufficient appropriation, the Director shall approve payment of any claim, without regard to fiscal year limitations, presented to the Director that is supported by a final settlement or final judgment when the Attorney General and the chief officer of the public body against whose employee the claim or cause of action is asserted certify to the Director that the claim is in accordance with the State Employee Indemnification Act and that they approve of the payment. In no event shall an amount in excess of $150,000 be paid from this plan to or for the benefit of any claimant.
        (13) Administer a plan the purpose of which is to
    
make payments on final settlements or final judgments for employee wage claims in situations where there was an appropriation relevant to the wage claim, the fiscal year and lapse period have expired, and sufficient funds were available to pay the claim. The plan shall be funded through appropriations from the General Revenue Fund specifically designated for that purpose.
        Subject to sufficient appropriation, the Director is
    
authorized to pay any wage claim presented to the Director that is supported by a final settlement or final judgment when the chief officer of the State agency employing the claimant certifies to the Director that the claim is a valid wage claim and that the fiscal year and lapse period have expired. Payment for claims that are properly submitted and certified as valid by the Director shall include interest accrued at the rate of 7% per annum from the forty-fifth day after the claims are received by the Department or 45 days from the date on which the amount of payment is agreed upon, whichever is later, until the date the claims are submitted to the Comptroller for payment. When the Attorney General has filed an appearance in any proceeding concerning a wage claim settlement or judgment, the Attorney General shall certify to the Director that the wage claim is valid before any payment is made. In no event shall an amount in excess of $150,000 be paid from this plan to or for the benefit of any claimant.
        Nothing in Public Act 84-961 shall be construed to
    
affect in any manner the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims concerning wage claims made against the State of Illinois.
        (14) Prepare and, in the discretion of the Director,
    
implement a program for self-insurance for official fidelity and surety bonds for officers and employees as authorized by the Official Bond Act.

Any Illinois resident, any State employee, including management personnel as defined by the Department, any annuitant under Article 14 of the Illinois Pension Code, and any annuitant under Article 15 of that Code who receives a retirement or disability retirement annuity, but not including elected officials and departmental directors, may submit a cost-saving suggestion to the Board, which shall direct the suggestion to the appropriate department or agency without disclosing the identity of the suggester. A suggester may make a suggestion or include documentation on matters a department or agency considers confidential, except where prohibited by federal or State law; and no disciplinary or other negative action may be taken against the suggester unless there is a violation of federal or State law.
    Suggestions, including documentation, upon receipt, shall be given confidential treatment and shall not be subject to subpoena or be made public until the agency affected by it has had the opportunity to request continued confidentiality. The agency, if it requests continued confidentiality, shall attest that disclosure would violate federal or State law or rules and regulations pursuant to federal or State law or is a matter covered under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act. The Board shall make its decision on continued confidentiality and, if it so classifies the suggestion, shall notify the suggester and agency. A suggestion classified "continued confidential" shall nevertheless be evaluated and considered for award. A suggestion that the Board finds or the suggester states or implies constitutes a disclosure of information that the suggester reasonably believes evidences (1) a violation of any law, rule, or regulation or (2) mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety may be referred to the appropriate investigatory or law enforcement agency for consideration for investigation and action. The identity of the suggester may not be disclosed without the consent of the suggester during any investigation of the information and any related matters. Such a suggestion shall also be evaluated and an award made when appropriate. That portion of Board meetings that involves the consideration of suggestions classified "continued confidential" or being considered for that classification shall be closed meetings.
    The Board may at its discretion make awards for those suggestions certified by agency or department heads as resulting in savings to the State of Illinois. Management personnel shall be recognized for their suggestions as the Board considers appropriate but shall not receive any monetary award. Illinois residents, annuitants, and employees, other than employees who are management personnel, shall receive awards in accordance with the schedule below. Each award to employees other than management personnel and awards to residents and annuitants shall be paid in one lump sum by the Board created in subsection (b). A monetary award may be increased by appropriation of the General Assembly.
    The amount of each award to employees other than management personnel and the award to annuitants and residents shall be determined as follows:

$1.00 to $5,000 savings...............an amount not

to exceed

$500.00 or a

certificate

of merit, or

both, as

determined

by the Board
more than $5,000 up to $20,000 savings.....$500 award
more than $20,000 up to $100,000 savings....$1,000 award
more than $100,000 up to $200,000 savings...$2,000 award
more than $200,000 up to $300,000 savings...$3,000 award
more than $300,000 up to $400,000 savings...$4,000 award
more than $400,000..................$5,000 award
    (b) There is created a State Government Suggestion Award Board to administer the program described in subsection (a). The Board shall consist of 8 members appointed 2 each by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and, as ex-officio, non-voting members, the directors of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget and the Department. Each appointing authority shall designate one initial appointee to serve one year and one initial appointee to serve 2 years; subsequent terms shall be 2 years. Any vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term by the original appointing authority and any member may be reappointed. Board members shall serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. The Board shall annually elect a chairman from among its number, shall meet monthly or more frequently at the call of the chairman, and shall establish necessary procedures, guidelines, and criteria for the administration of the program. The Board shall annually report to the General Assembly by January 1 on the operation of the program, including the nature and cost-savings of implemented suggestions, and any recommendations for legislative changes it deems appropriate. The General Assembly shall make an annual appropriation to the Board for payment of awards and the expenses of the Board, such as, but not limited to: travel of the members, preparation of publicity material, printing of forms and other matter, and contractual expenses.

However, before leasing or purchasing any office or storage space, buildings, land or other facilities in any municipality the Department shall survey the existing State-owned and State-leased property to make a determination of need.
    The leases shall be for a term not to exceed 5 years, except that the leases may contain a renewal clause subject to acceptance by the State after that date or an option to purchase. The purchases shall be made through contracts that (i) may provide for the title to the property to transfer immediately to the State or a trustee or nominee for the benefit of the State, (ii) shall provide for the consideration to be paid in installments to be made at stated intervals during a certain term not to exceed 30 years from the date of the contract, and (iii) may provide for the payment of interest on the unpaid balance at a rate that does not exceed a rate determined by adding 3 percentage points to the annual yield on United States Treasury obligations of comparable maturity as most recently published in the Wall Street Journal at the time such contract is signed. The leases and purchase contracts shall be and shall recite that they are subject to termination and cancellation in any year for which the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation to pay the rent or purchase installments payable under the terms of the lease or purchase contract. Additionally, the purchase contract shall specify that title to the office and storage space, buildings, land, and other facilities being acquired under the contract shall revert to the Seller in the event of the failure of the General Assembly to appropriate suitable funds. However, this limitation on the term of the leases does not apply to leases to and with the Illinois Building Authority, as provided for in the Building Authority Act. Leases to and with that Authority may be entered into for a term not to exceed 30 years and shall be and shall recite that they are subject to termination and cancellation in any year for which the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation to pay the rent payable under the terms of the lease. These limitations do not apply if the lease or purchase contract contains a provision limiting the liability for the payment of the rentals or installments thereof solely to funds received from the Federal government.
    (b) To lease from an airport authority office, aircraft hangar, and service buildings constructed upon a public airport under the Airport Authorities Act for the use and occupancy of the State Department of Transportation. The lease may be entered into for a term not to exceed 30 years.

    (d) To enter into an agreement with a municipality or county to construct, remodel, or convert a structure for the purposes of its serving as a correctional institution or facility pursuant to paragraph (c) of Section 3-2-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
    (e) To enter into an agreement with a private individual, trust, partnership, or corporation or a municipality or other unit of local government, when authorized to do so by the Department of Corrections, whereby that individual, trust, partnership, or corporation or municipality or other unit of local government will construct, remodel, or convert a structure for the purposes of its serving as a correctional institution or facility and then lease the structure to the Department for the use of the Department of Corrections. A lease entered into pursuant to the authority granted in this subsection shall be for a term not to exceed 30 years but may grant to the State the option to purchase the structure outright.
    The leases shall be and shall recite that they are subject to termination and cancellation in any year for which the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation to pay the rent payable under the terms of the lease.
    (f) On and after September 17, 1983, the powers granted to the Department under this Section shall be exercised exclusively by the Department, and no other State agency may concurrently exercise any such power unless specifically authorized otherwise by a later enacted law. This subsection is not intended to impair any contract existing as of September 17, 1983.
    However, no lease for more than 10,000 square feet of space shall be executed unless the Director, in consultation with the Executive Director of the Capital Development Board, has certified that leasing is in the best interest of the State, considering programmatic requirements, availability of vacant State-owned space, the cost-benefits of purchasing or constructing new space, and other criteria as he or she shall determine. The Director shall not permit multiple leases for less than 10,000 square feet to be executed in order to evade this provision.
    (g) To develop and implement, in cooperation with the Interagency Energy Conservation Committee, a system for evaluating energy consumption in facilities leased by the Department, and to develop energy consumption standards for use in evaluating prospective lease sites.
    (h) (1) After June 1, 1998 (the effective date of Public

    
Act 90-520), the Department shall not enter into an agreement for the installment purchase or lease purchase of buildings, land, or facilities unless:
            (A) the using agency certifies to the Department
        
that the agency reasonably expects that the building, land, or facilities being considered for purchase will meet a permanent space need;
            (B) the building or facilities will be
        
substantially occupied by State agencies after purchase (or after acceptance in the case of a build to suit);

    Sec. 405-515. High-Volume Transaction Processing System study.
    (a) As used in this Act:
    "Department" means the Department of Central Management Services.
    "High-Volume Transaction Processing System (HVTPS)" means a computer, or designated network of computers, that, in daily operations (i) supports, or is capable of supporting, more than 15,000,000 transactions per hour and (ii) is used for critical computing needs, including, but not limited to, bulk data processing, transaction processing, resource planning, statistic generation, process monitoring, and process modeling. "HVTPS" also includes the applications, operating systems, and other support software, hardware add-ons, and maintenance services required by a system.
    "Overall value" is to be derived from factors including, but not limited to, total cost of ownership, the quality of the hardware, software, or services to be delivered by the contractor, the contractor's responsiveness and account service record, and the contractor's willingness to share risk.
    (b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall study the cost of and the State's current use of and reliance on HVTPS. The study shall consider, without limitation:
        (1) The nature of the operations supported by

    
existing HVTPS, including the State's need to conduct those operations in a reliable, secure, scalable, and end-user-friendly manner.
        (2) For existing HVTPS, employee costs, one-time
    
charges, recurring charges, and average maintenance charges associated with the components of an HVTPS.
        (3) For existing HVTPS, the State's reliance on
    
non-employees for system maintenance and support, and the feasibility of having those functions performed by State employees, new or existing.
        (4) An assessment of the overall value of existing
    
HVTPS to the State.
        (5) Whether HVTPS of comparable capacity and
    
performance characteristics are available in the marketplace and, if not, in what manner the marketplace is failing to offer such comparable systems.
        (6) If comparable HVTPS exist in the marketplace, the
    
study must indicate what good-faith estimates exist for cost components that are comparable to those identified in item (2) of this subsection.
        (7) If comparable HVTPS exist in the marketplace, the
    
feasibility of having system maintenance and support functions performed by State employees.
        (8) The study shall include public comments from
    
stakeholders and available case studies.
    (c) The Department shall report to the Governor and the General Assembly no later than 6 months after the completion of the study. Sensitive or confidential material, such as technical trade secrets (excluding pricing), may be redacted from the public version of the report.
