For borrowing authorized under Sections 1 and 1.1 of this Act, certificates may be issued and sold from time to time, in one or more series, in amounts, at prices and at interest rates, all as directed by the Governor, Comptroller, and Treasurer. Bidders shall submit sealed bids to the Director of the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget upon such terms as shall be approved by the Governor, Comptroller, and Treasurer after such notice as shall be determined to be reasonable by the Director of the Governor’s Office of Management and Budget. The loan shall be awarded to the bidder offering the lowest effective rate of interest not exceeding the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act as amended at the time of the making of the contract.
     However, for borrowing authorized under Sections 1 and 1.1 of this Act during fiscal years 2020 and 2021 only, certificates may be issued and sold on a negotiated basis rather than by sealed bid from time to time, in one or more series, in amounts, at prices and at interest rates, and in such manner, all as directed by the Governor, Comptroller, and Treasurer. The rate of interest must not exceed the maximum rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act as amended at the time of the making of the contract. The requirements of the Illinois Procurement Code shall not apply to the selection of the purchaser of any certificates sold in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
