HB0751 - 5 - LRB096 05755 DRJ 15826 b

1     Section 10. The State Property Control Act is amended by
2 changing Section 7.1 as follows:
 
3     (30 ILCS 605/7.1)  (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.1)
4     Sec. 7.1. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all
5 surplus real property held by the State of Illinois shall be
6 disposed of by the administrator as provided in this Section.
7 "Surplus real property," as used in this Section, means any
8 real property to which the State holds fee simple title or
9 lesser interest, and is vacant, unoccupied or unused and which
10 has no foreseeable use by the owning agency.
11     (b) All responsible officers shall submit an Annual Real
12 Property Utilization Report to the Administrator, or annual
13 update of such report, on forms required by the Administrator,
14 by October 30 of each year. The Administrator may require such
15 documentation as he deems reasonably necessary in connection
16 with this Report, and shall require that such Report include
17 the following information:
18     (1) A legal description of all real property owned by the
19 State under the control of the responsible officer.
20     (2) A description of the use of the real property listed
21 under (1).
22     (3) A list of any improvements made to such real property
23 during the previous year.
24     (4) The dates on which the State first acquired its
25 interest in such real property, and the purchase price and

 

 

HB0751 - 6 - LRB096 05755 DRJ 15826 b

1 source of the funds used to acquire the property.
2     (5) Plans for the future use of currently unused real
3 property.
4     (6) A declaration of any surplus real property. On or
5 before December 31 of each year the Administrator shall furnish
6 copies of each responsible officer's report along with a list
7 of surplus property indexed by legislative district to the
8 General Assembly.
9     This report shall be filed with the Speaker, the Minority
10 Leader and the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the
11 President, the Minority Leader and the Secretary of the Senate
12 and shall be duplicated and made available to the members of
13 the General Assembly for evaluation by such members for
14 possible liquidation of unused public property at public sale.
15     (c) Following receipt of the Annual Real Property
16 Utilization Report required under paragraph (b), the
17 Administrator shall notify all State agencies by December 31 of
18 all declared surplus real property. Any State agency may submit
19 a written request to the Administrator, within 60 days of the
20 date of such notification, to have control of surplus real
21 property transferred to that agency. Such request must indicate
22 the reason for the transfer and the intended use to be made of
23 such surplus real property. The Administrator may deny any or
24 all such requests by a State agency or agencies if the
25 Administrator determines that it is more advantageous to the
26 State to dispose of the surplus real property under paragraph

 

 

HB0751 - 7 - LRB096 05755 DRJ 15826 b

1 (d). In case requests for the same surplus real property are
2 received from more than one State agency, the Administrator
3 shall weigh the benefits to the State and determine to which
4 agency, if any, to transfer control of such property. The
5 Administrator shall coordinate the use and disposal of State
6 surplus real property with any State space utilization program.
7     (d) Any surplus real property which is not transferred to
8 the control of another State agency under paragraph (c) shall
9 be disposed of by the Administrator. No appraisal is required
10 if during his initial survey of surplus real property the
11 Administrator determines such property has a fair market value
12 of less than $5,000. If the value of such property is
13 determined by the Administrator in his initial survey to be
14 $5,000 or more, then the Administrator shall obtain 3
15 appraisals of such real property, one of which shall be
16 performed by an appraiser residing in the county in which said
17 surplus real property is located. The average of these 3
18 appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the appraisals, shall
19 represent the fair market value of the surplus real property.
20 No surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator
21 for less than the fair market value. Prior to offering the
22 surplus real property for sale to the public the Administrator
23 shall give notice in writing of the existence and fair market
24 value of the surplus real property to the governing bodies of
25 the county and of all cities, villages and incorporated towns
26 in the county in which such real property is located. Any such

 

 

HB0751 - 8 - LRB096 05755 DRJ 15826 b

1 governing body may exercise its option to acquire the surplus
2 real property for the fair market value within 60 days of the
3 notice. After the 60 day period has passed, the Administrator
4 may sell the surplus real property by public auction following
5 notice of such sale by publication on 3 separate days not less
6 than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the sale in the State
7 newspaper and in a newspaper having general circulation in the
8 county in which the surplus real property is located. The
9 Administrator shall post "For Sale" signs of a conspicuous
10 nature on such surplus real property offered for sale to the
11 public. If no acceptable offers for the surplus real property
12 are received, the Administrator may have new appraisals of such
13 property made. The Administrator shall have all power necessary
14 to convey surplus real property under this Section. All moneys
15 received for the sale of surplus real property shall be
16 deposited in the General Revenue Fund, except that:
17         (1) Where where moneys expended for the acquisition of
18     such real property were from a special fund which is still
19     a special fund in the State treasury, this special fund
20     shall be reimbursed in the amount of the original
21     expenditure and any amount in excess thereof shall be
22     deposited in the General Revenue Fund.
23         (2) Whenever a State mental health facility operated by
24     the Department of Human Services is closed and the real
25     estate on which the facility is located is sold by the
26     State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate

6     is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the
7     real estate shall be deposited into the Community
8     Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.
9     The Administrator shall have authority to order such
10 surveys, abstracts of title, or commitments for title insurance
11 as may, in his reasonable discretion, be deemed necessary to
12 demonstrate to prospective purchasers or bidders good and
13 marketable title in any property offered for sale pursuant to
14 this Section. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the
15 General Assembly, all conveyances of property made by the
16 Administrator shall be by quit claim deed.
17     (e) The Administrator shall submit an annual report on or
18 before February 1 to the Governor and the General Assembly
19 containing a detailed statement of surplus real property either
20 transferred or conveyed under this Section.
