AN ACT concerning State government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 1. Legislative intent. Saving money and cutting |
costs on behalf of Illinois taxpayers is an important aspect |
when considering potential legislation. To that end, the |
General Assembly looks for avenues in which to save taxpayers' |
money by finding ways to simplify or refine certain State |
operations. Under current State policy, State-owned motor |
vehicles are required to undergo an oil change every |
3,000-5,000 miles, regardless of whether an oil change may |
truly be required given that vehicle's make and model. It is |
the intent of the General Assembly with this legislation to |
reduce the frequency of needless oil changes to State-owned |
vehicles, and the expenses that go along with them, and reduce |
the frequency with which such expenses are passed on to the |
taxpayers.
|
Section 5. The Department of Central Management Services |
Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by |
changing Section 405-280 as follows:
|
(20 ILCS 405/405-280) (was 20 ILCS 405/67.15)
|
Sec. 405-280. State garages; passenger cars. |
|
(a) To supervise and
administer all State garages used for
|
the repair, maintenance, or servicing of State-owned motor |
vehicles
except those operated by any State college or |
university or by the Illinois
Mathematics and Science Academy; |
and to acquire, maintain, and administer
the operation of the |
passenger cars reasonably necessary to the operations
of the |
executive department of the State government. To this end, the
|
Department shall adopt regulations setting
forth guidelines |
for the acquisition, use, maintenance, and replacement of
motor |
vehicles, including the use of ethanol blended gasoline |
whenever
feasible, used by the executive department of State |
government;
shall
occupy the space and take possession of the |
personnel, facilities,
equipment, tools, and vehicles that are |
in the possession or
under the
administration of the former |
Department of Administrative Services for these
purposes on |
July 13, 1982 (the effective date of Public Act 82-789); and |
shall,
from time to time, acquire any further, additional, and
|
replacement
facilities, space, tools, and vehicles that are |
reasonably
necessary for
the purposes described in this |
Section. |
(a-5) Notwithstanding any State policy or rule to the |
contrary, any State-owned motor vehicle requiring maintenance |
in the form of an oil change shall have such maintenance |
performed according to the applicable Department policy which |
considers the manufacturer's suggested oil change frequency |
for that vehicle's particular make, model, and year. The |
|
Department shall evaluate the original equipment |
manufacturer's oil change interval recommendations and other |
related impacts periodically and consider policy adjustments |
as is cost and operationally efficient for the State. |
(b) The Department shall evaluate the availability and cost |
of GPS systems that State agencies may be able to use to track |
State-owned motor vehicles. |
(c) The Department shall distribute a spreadsheet or |
otherwise make data entry available to each State agency to |
facilitate the collection of data for publishing on the |
Department's Internet website. Each State agency shall |
cooperate with the Department in furnishing the data necessary |
for the implementation of this subsection within the timeframe |
specified by the Department. Each State agency shall be |
responsible for the validity and accuracy of the data provided. |
Beginning on July 1, 2013, the Department shall make available |
to the public on its Internet website the following |
information: |
(1) vehicle cost data, organized by individual vehicle |
and by State agency, and including repair, maintenance, |
fuel, insurance, and other costs, as well as whether |
required vehicle inspections have been performed; and |
(2) an annual vehicle breakeven analysis, organized by |
individual vehicle and by State agency, comparing the |
number of miles a vehicle has been driven with the total |
cost of maintaining the vehicle. |
|
(d) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act |
of the 97th General Assembly, and notwithstanding any provision |
of law to the contrary, the Department may not make any new |
motor vehicle purchases until the Department sets forth |
procedures to condition the purchase of new motor vehicles on |
(i) a determination of need based on a breakeven analysis, and |
(ii) a determination that no other available means, including |
car sharing or rental agreements, would be more cost-effective |
to the State. However, the Department may purchase motor |
vehicles not meeting or exceeding a breakeven analysis only if |
there is no alternative available to carry out agency work |
functions and the purchase is approved by the Manager of the |
Division of Vehicles upon the receipt of a written explanation |
from the agency head of the operational needs justifying the |
purchase.
