Short title. This Act may be cited as the Best 5Customer Price Act. 6 Section 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds and 7declares that: 8 (1) It has been the long-standing public policy of 9 this State to provide a level playing field in procurement 10 for small and mid-sized businesses. Despite this policy, 11 the portion of State funds spent on small and mid-sized 12 businesses, especially minority-owned, women-owned, and 13 veteran-owned businesses, is persistently far below where 14 the General Assembly believes it should be. 15 (2) This State has a choice in implementing pricing 16 policy for goods. Manufacturers sometimes give their best 17 price to the largest suppliers and largest resellers, 18 leaving small and mid-sized suppliers and small and 19 mid-sized resellers to pay a higher price. Allowing 20 manufacturers to force smaller suppliers for State 21 purchases to pay a higher price excludes small suppliers 22 from any low-bid State procurement. 23 (3) On average, minority-owned, women-owned, and HB1225 Engrossed- 2 -LRB104 06111 SPS 16144 b 1 veteran-owned businesses are smaller than incumbent firms, 2 and policies that level the playing field in procurement 3 for firms that are smaller will disproportionately benefit 4 minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses, 5 rectifying past decades of discrimination in a 6 race-neutral and gender-neutral way. 7 (4)
