 8        Sec. 7. Disposition of transferable property.
 9        (a)  Except as provided in this subsection and subsection
10    (c), whenever a responsible officer considers it advantageous
11    to  the  State to dispose of transferable property by trading
12    it in for  credit  on  a  replacement  of  like  nature,  the
13    responsible officer shall report the trade-in and replacement
14    to  the  administrator  on forms furnished by the latter. The
15    exchange, trade or transfer  of  "textbooks"  as  defined  in
16    Section  18-17  of  the School Code between schools or school
17    districts pursuant to regulations adopted by the State  Board
18    of  Education  under  that  Section  shall  not  constitute a
19    disposition of transferable property within  the  meaning  of
20    this  Section,  even  though such exchange, trade or transfer
21    occurs within 5 years after the textbooks are first  provided
22    for loan pursuant to Section 18-17 of the School Code.
23        This  subsection  does  not  apply to vehicles.  Vehicles
24    must be disposed of in accordance with subsection (b).
25        (b)  Except as provided in subsection (c), whenever it is
26    deemed necessary to  dispose  of  any  item  of  transferable

28    property by sale or scrapping as the case may be, in whatever
29    manner he considers most advantageous and most profitable  to
30    the   State.  Items  of  transferable  property  which  would
31    ordinarily be scrapped and  disposed  of  by  burning  or  by

 4    with rules promulgated by the Administrator.
 5        When the Administrator determines that a vehicle is to be
 6    disposed  of by sale, it shall be offered first to recipients
 7    of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program
 8    in a manner the Administrator shall prescribe  by  rule.   If
 9    unsold,  the  vehicle  shall  then be offered for sale in the
10    manner provided in this subsection for other property.
11        When the administrator determines that property is to  be
12    disposed  of  by  sale,  he  shall  offer  it  first  to  the
13    municipalities,  counties,  and school districts of the State
14    and to  charitable,  not-for-profit  educational  and  public
15    health  organizations,  including  but not limited to medical
16    institutions, clinics, hospitals,  health  centers,  schools,

23    Administrator for that purpose.
24        Electronic   data   processing  equipment  purchased  and
25    charged to appropriations  may,  at  the  discretion  of  the
26    administrator, be sold, pursuant to contracts entered into by
27    the  Director  of Central Management Services or the heads of
28    agencies exempt from "The Illinois Purchasing Act".   However
29    such  equipment  shall  not  be  sold at prices less than the
30    purchase cost thereof or depreciated value as  determined  by
31    the administrator.  No sale of the electronic data processing
32    equipment  and  lease  to  the State by the purchaser of such
33    equipment shall be made under this Act unless the Director of
34    Central Management Services finds  that  such  contracts  are
