| ||||||
8 | (30 ILCS 605/7.3) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.3)
| ||||||
9 | Sec. 7.3.
The Administrator shall have charge of all | ||||||
10 | transferable property
and shall have authority to take | ||||||
11 | possession and control of such property
in order to transfer or | ||||||
12 | assign any such property to any other State agency
that has | ||||||
13 | need or use for such property or to dispose of said property in
| ||||||
14 | accordance with Section 7 of this Act.
| ||||||
15 | Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, | ||||||
16 | 3 executive aircraft and 2 helicopters owned by the State, as | ||||||
17 | selected by the Administrator and not designated for emergency | ||||||
18 | use under a plan developed pursuant to Section 3.120 of the | ||||||
19 | Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act, are deemed | ||||||
20 | surplus and shall be sold by the Administrator as soon as | ||||||
21 | possible after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
22 | 97th General Assembly using a competitive sealed bid method of | ||||||
23 | sale. Proceeds from the sale of those aircraft and helicopters | ||||||
24 | shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Administrator may not dispose of a transferable | ||||||
2 | airplane by sale until
he or she determines that
(i) the agency | ||||||
3 | no longer has a need for the airplane, (ii) the airplane will
| ||||||
4 | not be used as a trade-in on another aircraft, and (iii)
no | ||||||
5 | public university or college in Illinois that
offers courses in | ||||||
6 | aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving
| ||||||
7 | knowledge of the workings of an airplane has listed the need | ||||||
8 | for an airplane as
provided in this Section.
| ||||||
9 | Responsible officers shall periodically report all | ||||||
10 | transferable property
at locations under their jurisdictions | ||||||
11 | to the Administrator. The Administrator
shall review such | ||||||
12 | reports and arrange for physical examination of said property
| ||||||
13 | if necessary to determine if said items of transferable | ||||||
14 | property should
be transferred to another State agency, | ||||||
15 | transferred to a central warehouse,
or disposed of. The | ||||||
16 | Administrator shall advise responsible officers of
the results | ||||||
17 | of these reviews as necessary.
| ||||||
18 | The staff under the jurisdiction of the Administrator shall | ||||||
19 | review as
necessary
State agencies' inventories for potential | ||||||
20 | items of transferable property.
If in the opinion of the | ||||||
21 | Administrator's staff, any property appears to
be | ||||||
22 | transferable, the Administrator shall notify the responsible | ||||||
23 | officer
of his determination. The executive head of the agency | ||||||
24 | holding the property
in question may appeal the determination | ||||||
25 | in writing to the Administrator.
| ||||||
26 | The Administrator will review the determination in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accordance with rules
and procedures established pursuant to | ||||||
2 | Section 5 of this Act.
| ||||||
3 | The Administrator shall maintain lists of transferable | ||||||
4 | property and of
State agency needs for such property and will | ||||||
5 | transfer where appropriate listed
transferable property to | ||||||
6 | agencies listing their needs for such property
as detailed by | ||||||
7 | their responsible officers.
The Administrator must give | ||||||
8 | priority for transfer of an airplane, that is not
to be used as | ||||||
9 | a trade-in, to a public
university or college in Illinois that | ||||||
10 | offers courses in aviation, flight
training, or other subjects | ||||||
11 | involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane
and that has | ||||||
12 | listed the need for an airplane.
