A BILL FOR
HB3261 LRB098 08189 HLH 38287 b
AN ACT concerning finance.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Property Control Act is amended by
changing Section 7.3 as follows:
(30 ILCS 605/7.3) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.3)
Sec. 7.3. The Administrator shall have charge of all
transferable property and shall have authority to take
possession and control of such property in order to transfer or
assign any such property to any other State agency that has
need or use for such property or to dispose of said property in
accordance with Section 7 of this Act.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
all airplanes and helicopters owned by the State, except those
designated for emergency use under a plan developed pursuant to
Section 3.120 of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems
Act and those used by a public university or college as part of
a course offered in aviation, flight training, or any other
subject involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane, are
deemed surplus and shall be sold by the Administrator as soon
as possible after the effective date of this amendatory Act of
the 98th General Assembly using a competitive sealed bid method
of sale. Proceeds from the sale of those airplanes and

HB3261 - 2 - LRB098 08189 HLH 38287 b
helicopters shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund.
The Administrator may not dispose of a transferable
airplane by sale until he or she determines that (i) the agency
no longer has a need for the airplane, (ii) the airplane will
not be used as a trade-in on another aircraft, and (iii) no
public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in
aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving
knowledge of the workings of an airplane has listed the need
for an airplane as provided in this Section.
Responsible officers shall periodically report all
transferable property at locations under their jurisdictions
to the Administrator. The Administrator shall review such
reports and arrange for physical examination of said property
if necessary to determine if said items of transferable
property should be transferred to another State agency,
transferred to a central warehouse, or disposed of. The
Administrator shall advise responsible officers of the results
of these reviews as necessary.
The staff under the jurisdiction of the Administrator shall
review as necessary State agencies' inventories for potential
items of transferable property. If in the opinion of the
Administrator's staff, any property appears to be
transferable, the Administrator shall notify the responsible
officer of his determination. The executive head of the agency
holding the property in question may appeal the determination
in writing to the Administrator.

HB3261 - 3 - LRB098 08189 HLH 38287 b
The Administrator will review the determination in
accordance with rules and procedures established pursuant to
Section 5 of this Act.
The Administrator shall maintain lists of transferable
property and of State agency needs for such property and will
transfer where appropriate listed transferable property to
agencies listing their needs for such property as detailed by
their responsible officers. The Administrator must give
priority for transfer of an airplane, that is not to be used as
a trade-in, to a public university or college in Illinois that
offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects
involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane and that has
listed the need for an airplane.
