HB3674 amends the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act to expand annual reporting requirements for health care facilities and hospitals. Under current law, facilities must report capital expenditures above a specified threshold; this bill would require reporting of all capital expenditures, not just those exceeding $200,000. It also requires hospitals to include a purchasing-budget section even when they report zero capital expenditures, so the report still captures overall procurement activity.
The bill adds or clarifies supplier-diversity reporting for certain hospitals, especially larger hospitals under the University of Illinois Hospital Act or Hospital Licensing Act with more than 100 beds. Those hospitals would need to report goals and actual spending for female-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and small business enterprises, along with plans for future outreach, vendor-enrollment information, recognized certifications, challenges in finding vendors, and examples of successful practices. The Health Facilities and Services Review Board would also be required to publish the reports and related contact/certification information on its website and retain the reports for at least five years.
Impact
HB3674 would broaden the scope of annual disclosures required from health care facilities under Section 5.3 of the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act, replacing a threshold-based capital expenditure report with a report covering all capital expenditures. It would also require hospitals to disclose total purchasing budget information even in years with no capital spending, and it would strengthen public transparency around hospital procurement and supplier diversity. The bill affects hospitals, health care systems, and the Health Facilities and Services Review Board, and it would likely increase administrative reporting obligations while creating a more detailed public record of hospital spending and vendor participation.
Sentiment
No committee transcripts or recorded votes were provided, so there is no direct evidence of legislative debate or formal support/opposition in the materials supplied. Based on the bill text alone, the measure appears oriented toward transparency, accountability, and supplier-diversity promotion, which are generally framed as positive policy goals. The absence of voting history or hearing testimony means overall sentiment cannot be assessed beyond the bill’s apparent policy intent.
Contention
The main potential points of contention are the expanded reporting burden on hospitals and the increased disclosure of procurement and spending information. Hospitals or health systems may object to the added administrative work, the need to compile state-specific or national supplier-diversity data, and the requirement to publish detailed purchasing information publicly. Supporters would likely emphasize transparency, oversight of capital spending, and improved opportunities for minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and small businesses. No specific stakeholder positions are documented in the provided record.
