(30 ILCS 708/45) Sec. 45. Applicability. (a) The requirements established under this Act apply to State grant-making agencies that make State and federal pass-through awards to non-federal entities. These requirements apply to all costs related to State and federal pass-through awards. The requirements established under this Act do not apply to private awards.(a-5) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit the use of State funds for purposes of federal match or maintenance of effort.(b) The terms and conditions of State, federal, and pass-through awards apply to subawards and subrecipients unless a particular Section of this Act or the terms and conditions of the State or federal award specifically indicate otherwise. Non-federal entities shall comply with requirements of this Act regardless of whether the non-federal entity is a recipient or subrecipient of a State or federal pass-through award. Pass-through entities shall comply with the requirements set forth under the rules adopted under subsection (a) of Section 20 of this Act, but not to any requirements in this Act directed towards State or federal awarding agencies, unless the requirements of the State or federal awards indicate otherwise. When a non-federal entity is awarded a cost-reimbursement contract, only 2 CFR 200.330 through 200.332 are incorporated by reference into the contract. However, when the Cost Accounting Standards are applicable to the contract, they take precedence over the requirements of this Act unless they are in conflict with Subpart F of 2 CFR 200. In addition, costs that are made unallowable under 10 U.S.C. 2324(e) and 41 U.S.C. 4304(a), as described in the Federal Acquisition Regulations, subpart 31.2 and subpart 31.603, are always unallowable. For requirements other than those covered in Subpart D of 2 CFR 200.330 through 200.332, the terms of the contract and the Federal Acquisition Regulations apply. With the exception of Subpart F of 2 CFR 200, which is required by the Single Audit Act, in any circumstances where the provisions of federal statutes or regulations differ from the provisions of this Act, the provision of the federal statutes or regulations govern. This includes, for agreements with Indian tribes, the provisions of the Indian Self-Determination and Education and Assistance Act, as amended, 25 U.S.C. 450-458ddd-2. (c) State grant-making agencies may apply subparts A through E of 2 CFR 200 to for-profit entities, foreign public entities, or foreign organizations, except where the awarding agency determines that the application of these subparts would be inconsistent with the international obligations of the United States or the statute or regulations of a foreign government. (d) 2 CFR 200.101 specifies how 2 CFR 200 is applicable to different types of awards. The same applicability applies to this Act. (e) (Blank).(f) For public institutions of higher education, the provisions of this Act apply only to awards funded by State appropriations and federal pass-through awards from a State agency to public institutions of higher education.(g) Each grant-making agency shall enhance its processes to monitor and address noncompliance with reporting requirements and with program performance standards. Where applicable, the process may include a corrective action plan. The monitoring process shall include a plan for tracking and documenting performance-based contracting decisions.

(30 ILCS 708/50) Sec. 50. State grant-making agency responsibilities. (a) The specific requirements and responsibilities of State grant-making agencies and non-federal entities are set forth in this Act.

relate financial data to performance accomplishments of the award and, when applicable, must require recipients and subrecipients to provide cost information to demonstrate cost-effective practices. The recipient's and subrecipient's performance should be measured in a way that will help the State agency to improve program outcomes, share lessons learned, and spread the adoption of promising practices; and

(2) provide recipients and subrecipients with clear

performance goals, indicators, and milestones and must establish performance reporting frequency and content to not only allow the State agency to understand the recipient's progress, but also to facilitate identification of promising practices among recipients and subrecipients and build the evidence upon which the State agency's program and performance decisions are made.

(c-5) Each State grant-making agency shall, when it is in the best interests of the State, request that the Office of the Comptroller issue a stop payment order in accordance with Section 105 of this Act. (c-6) Upon notification by the Grant Transparency and Accountability Unit that a stop payment order has been requested by a State grant-making agency, each State grant-making agency who has issued a grant to that recipient or subrecipient shall determine if it remains in the best interests of the State to continue to issue payments to the recipient or subrecipient. (d) The Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall provide such advice and technical assistance to the State grant-making agencies as is necessary or indicated in order to ensure compliance with this Act.

The amounts charged will be allocated based on the actual cost of the services provided to State grant-making agencies and public institutions of higher education in accordance with the applicable federal cost principles contained in 2 CFR 200 and this Act will not cause the reduction in the amount of any State or federal grant awards that have been or will be directed towards State agencies or public institutions of higher education. (c) The Governor's Office of Management and Budget, in conjunction with the Illinois Single Audit Commission, shall research and provide recommendations to the General Assembly regarding the adoption of legislation in accordance with the federal Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012. The recommendations shall be included in the Annual Report of the Commission to be submitted to the General Assembly on January 1, 2020.
