 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-42.1-1)Sec. 11-42.1-1.         (a) Except as provided otherwise in this Section, a  municipality may not enter into a contract or agreement with an individual  or other entity that is delinquent in the payment of any tax administered  by the Department of Revenue unless the individual or other entity is  contesting, in accordance with the procedures established by the  appropriate revenue Act, its liability for the tax or the amount of tax.  Before awarding a contract, the municipality shall obtain a statement under  oath from the individual or entity that no such taxes are delinquent.  Making a false statement is a Class A misdemeanor.  In addition, making a  false statement voids the contract and allows the municipality to recover  all amounts paid to the individual or entity under the contract in a civil  action.  A municipality may not regulate contracts with individuals or  entities that are delinquent in payment of such taxes in a manner  inconsistent with this Section.  This Section is a  limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois  Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule municipalities of  powers and functions exercised by the State.(b) For purposes of this Section, a person or other entity shall not be  considered delinquent in the payment of a tax if the person or entity  (1) has entered into an agreement with the Department of Revenue for the  payment of all such taxes that are due and (2) is in compliance with the  agreement.  In that case, the sworn statement required by subsection (a)  shall state those facts.(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), a municipality may  enter into a contract with an individual or other entity that is delinquent  in the payment of a tax if the contracting authority for the municipality determines that:(1) the contract is for goods or services vital to     the public health, safety, or welfare; and(2) the municipality is unable to acquire the goods     or services at a comparable price and of comparable quality from other sources.
