AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1569

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 1569 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"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 97th General Assembly using a competitive sealed bid method of sale. Proceeds from the sale of those airplanes and 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.

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.
