Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 1-20.

Real property.

The Department has the power:

(a) To transfer jurisdiction of any realty under the control of the
Department to any other Department of the State Government, or to any
authority, commission or other agency of the State, and to acquire or accept
federal lands, when such transfer, acquisition or acceptance is
advantageous to the State and is approved in writing by the Governor.

(b) To lease, from time to time, any land or property, with or without
appurtenances, of which the Department has jurisdiction, and which are not
immediately to be used or developed by the State; provided that no such
lease be for a longer period of time than that in which it can reasonably
be expected the State will not have use for such property, and further
provided that no such lease be for a longer period of time than 5 years.
