2 Sec. 7. Disposition of transferable property.
3 (a) Except as provided in subsection (a-5) and
4 subsection (c), whenever a responsible officer considers it
5 advantageous to the State to dispose of transferable property
6 by trading it in for credit on a replacement of like nature,
7 the responsible officer shall report the trade-in and
8 replacement to the administrator on forms furnished by the
9 latter. The exchange, trade or transfer of "textbooks" as
10 defined in Section 18-17 of the School Code between schools
11 or school districts pursuant to regulations adopted by the
12 State Board of Education under that Section shall not
13 constitute a disposition of transferable property within the
14 meaning of this Section, even though such exchange, trade or
15 transfer occurs within 5 years after the textbooks are first
16 provided for loan pursuant to Section 18-17 of the School
17 Code.
18 (a-5) When the Department of Central Management Services
19 administrator determines that a vehicle used by the
20 Department of Human Services is to be disposed of, the
21 administrator shall authorize use of the vehicle for the
22 pilot program established under Article 15 of the Department
23 of Human Services Act. The administrator shall authorize the
24 disposition of 20 vehicles for use in the pilot program. If
25 the administrator determines that there are not 20 vehicles
26 used by the Department of Human Services to be disposed of
27 but that vehicles used by other State agencies are to be
28 disposed of, the administrator shall authorize other vehicles
29 for the program so that a total of 20 vehicles are used in
30 the program. A vehicle to be used in the pilot program must
31 have an odometer reading of not more than 150,000 miles. The
32 administrator may enter into an interagency agreement with
33 the Department of Human Services as necessary for
34 implementing this subsection.
-4- LRB093 07448 DRJ 14392 a
1 (b) Except as provided in subsection (a-5) and
2 subsection (c), whenever it is deemed necessary to dispose of
3 any item of transferable property, the administrator shall
4 proceed to dispose of the property by sale or scrapping as
5 the case may be, in whatever manner he considers most
6 advantageous and most profitable to the State. Items of
7 transferable property which would ordinarily be scrapped and
8 disposed of by burning or by burial in a landfill may be
9 examined and a determination made whether the property should
10 be recycled. This determination and any sale of recyclable
11 property shall be in accordance with rules promulgated by the
12 Administrator.
13 When the administrator determines that property is to be
14 disposed of by sale, he shall offer it first to the
15 municipalities, counties, and school districts of the State

18 institutions, clinics, hospitals, health centers, schools,

27 charged to appropriations may, at the discretion of the
28 administrator, be sold, pursuant to contracts entered into by
29 the Director of Central Management Services or the heads of
30 agencies exempt from "The Illinois Purchasing Act". However
31 such equipment shall not be sold at prices less than the
32 purchase cost thereof or depreciated value as determined by
33 the administrator. No sale of the electronic data processing
34 equipment and lease to the State by the purchaser of such
-5- LRB093 07448 DRJ 14392 a
1 equipment shall be made under this Act unless the Director of
2 Central Management Services finds that such contracts are
3 financially advantageous to the State.

6 districts, and not-for-profit educational, charitable and
7 public health organizations, shall be subject to the
8 following minimum conditions:
9 (1) The administrator shall cause the property to
10 be advertised for sale to the highest responsible bidder,
11 stating time, place, and terms of such sale at least 7
12 days prior to the time of sale and at least once in a
13 newspaper having a general circulation in the county
14 where the property is to be sold.
15 (2) If no acceptable bids are received, the
16 administrator may then sell the property in whatever
17 manner he considers most advantageous and most profitable
18 to the State.
19 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an
20 agency covered by this Act may transfer books, serial
21 publications, or other library materials that are
22 transferable property to any of the following entities
23 located in Illinois:
