AN ACT concerning finance.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by
changing Section 25-75 as follows:
(30 ILCS 500/25-75)
Sec. 25-75. Purchase of motor vehicles.

purchased from State funds must be flexible fuel or fuel
efficient hybrid vehicles. For purposes of this Section,
"flexible fuel vehicles" are automobiles or light trucks that
operate on either gasoline or E-85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline)
fuel and "Fuel efficient hybrid vehicles" are automobiles or
light trucks that use a gasoline or diesel engine and an
electric motor to provide power and gain at least a 20%
increase in combined US-EPA city-highway fuel economy over the
equivalent or most-similar conventionally-powered model.
(b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 94th General Assembly, any vehicle purchased from State
funds that is fueled by diesel fuel shall be certified by the

manufacturer to run on 5% biodiesel (B5) fuel.
(b-5) On and after January 1, 2016, 25% of vehicles, other
than Department of Corrections vehicles, Secretary of State
vehicles (except for mid-sized sedans), and Department of State
Police patrol vehicles, purchased with State funds shall be
vehicles fueled by electricity, compressed natural gas, liquid
petroleum gas, or liquid natural gas.
(c) The Chief Procurement Officer may determine that
certain vehicle procurements are exempt from this Section based
on intended use or other reasonable considerations such as
health and safety of Illinois citizens.
