1 airplane by sale until he or she determines that (i) the agency
2 no longer has a need for the airplane, (ii) the airplane will
3 not be used as a trade-in on another aircraft, and (iii) no
4 public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in

7 for an airplane as provided in this Section.
8     Responsible officers shall periodically report all
9 transferable property at locations under their jurisdictions
10 to the Administrator. The Administrator shall review such
11 reports and arrange for physical examination of said property
12 if necessary to determine if said items of transferable
13 property should be transferred to another State agency,
14 transferred to a central warehouse, or disposed of. The
15 Administrator shall advise responsible officers of the results
16 of these reviews as necessary.
17     The staff under the jurisdiction of the Administrator shall
18 review as necessary State agencies' inventories for potential
19 items of transferable property. If in the opinion of the
20 Administrator's staff, any property appears to be
21 transferable, the Administrator shall notify the responsible
22 officer of his determination. The executive head of the agency
23 holding the property in question may appeal the determination
24 in writing to the Administrator.
25     The Administrator will review the determination in
26 accordance with rules and procedures established pursuant to

9 offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects
10 involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane and that has
