Bill > HB5982

This bill amends the Department of Central Management Services Law to enhance transparency by requiring the Illinois Transparency and Accountability Portal (ITAP) to provide direct access to a new database containing information on all current State grants. This grant database will be sortable by the name of the entity receiving the grant (grantee name), the government agency that awarded the grant (awarding agency), the amount of the grant (grant value), and the reason the grant was given (purpose for which the grant is awarded). The ITAP is a website maintained by the Department of Central Management Services that already provides public access to various government data, and this addition aims to make information about state grants more accessible and understandable to the public.
