The Department shall, within 30 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly, establish a committee to review the rules for prequalification of contractors adopted by the Department at 44 Illinois Administrative Code 650. The purpose of the review is to determine whether the rules for prequalification operate as a barrier to minority-owned and women-owned contractors becoming prequalified to bid on or make proposals for Department contracts. The committee shall, in addition to Department staff, be constituted with membership representing the construction industry and minority-owned and women-owned contractors. The committee shall complete its work and make recommendations for any changes to the rules for prequalification to the Secretary of Transportation within 180 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly.
