(a) If a State agency that provides social services to Illinois residents through a contract with an authorized service provider intends to suspend, terminate, or reduce the amount of one or more contracts for a particular social services program due to the failure of appropriation or a reduction in the amount of available funds to support the program, the State agency shall notify the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate, and the Minority Leader of the Senate in writing of its intent to suspend, terminate, or reduce one or more contracts. Such notice shall be provided no less than 45 days before the State agency suspends, terminates, or reduces the contract and must include the level of appropriations required to prevent any suspension, termination, or reduction.
     (b) This Section applies to contracts entered before, on, or after the effective date of this Act.
     (c) Failure of a State agency to submit notice to the General Assembly as required under this Section shall not prevent termination, suspension, or reduction of a contract entered into prior to the effective date of this Act.
