Law Curbs Outsourcing of State Contract Work
Filed in archive Outsourcing News by Danny on February 06, 2005
Under the law, companies bidding on contracts are required to submit a report with any outsourcing information to the Department of Central Management Services. It was noted that companies that practice outsourcing would not be automatically banned from getting work. The law will take effect on July 1.
Senator Carol Ronen proposed the legislation because companies are increasingly shipping jobs to foreign countries. Ronen said, "[This is] an important first step to keep jobs in this state and in this country." Another sponsor, Representative Harry Osterman, said that the law shows Chicago's commitment to fight outsourcing. Osterman adds, "One bit of leverage we have is that as a state with a large budget, how we spend our money is important."
Tod Maisch, spokesman for the Illinois State Chamber
of Commerce, said that business are pleased with the law. He said, "We're pleased that the Legislature took a careful look at an emotional issue and crafted a piece of legislation that employers can live with."Permalink: Law Curbs Outsourcing of State Contract Work
