7     Sec. 7.3. The Administrator shall have charge of all
8 transferable property and shall have authority to take
9 possession and control of such property in order to transfer or
10 assign any such property to any other State agency that has
11 need or use for such property or to dispose of said property in

HB6720 - 2 - LRB095 22604 HLH 53010 b

1 emergency use under a plan developed pursuant to Section 3.120
2 of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act shall be
3 deemed surplus property and sold by the Administrator as soon
4 as possible after the airplane or helicopter ceases to be so
5 designated, using whatever method of sale, including but not
6 limited to a widely used global Internet auction site, that the
7 Administrator in his or her discretion determines most
8 profitable to the State. Proceeds from the sale of each
9 airplane or helicopter shall be deposited into the State Parks
10 Fund and used for State park improvements.
11     The Administrator may not dispose of a transferable
12 airplane by sale until he or she determines that (i) the agency
13 no longer has a need for the airplane, (ii) the airplane will
14 not be used as a trade-in on another aircraft, and (iii) no
15 public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in
16 aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving
17 knowledge of the workings of an airplane has listed the need
18 for an airplane as provided in this Section.
19     Responsible officers shall periodically report all
20 transferable property at locations under their jurisdictions
21 to the Administrator. The Administrator shall review such
22 reports and arrange for physical examination of said property
23 if necessary to determine if said items of transferable
24 property should be transferred to another State agency,
25 transferred to a central warehouse, or disposed of. The
26 Administrator shall advise responsible officers of the results

1 of these reviews as necessary.
2     The staff under the jurisdiction of the Administrator shall
3 review as necessary State agencies' inventories for potential
4 items of transferable property. If in the opinion of the
5 Administrator's staff, any property appears to be
6 transferable, the Administrator shall notify the responsible
7 officer of his determination. The executive head of the agency
8 holding the property in question may appeal the determination
9 in writing to the Administrator.
10     The Administrator will review the determination in
11 accordance with rules and procedures established pursuant to
12 Section 5 of this Act.
13     The Administrator shall maintain lists of transferable
14 property and of State agency needs for such property and will
15 transfer where appropriate listed transferable property to
16 agencies listing their needs for such property as detailed by
17 their responsible officers. The Administrator must give
18 priority for transfer of an airplane, that is not to be used as
19 a trade-in, to a public university or college in Illinois that
20 offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects
21 involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane and that has
22 listed the need for an airplane.
