    (a) Except as provided in subsection (c), whenever a responsible officer considers it advantageous to the State to dispose of transferable property by trading it in for credit on a replacement of like nature, the responsible officer shall report the trade‑in and replacement to the administrator on forms furnished by the latter. The exchange, trade or transfer of "textbooks" as defined in Section 18‑17 of the School Code between schools or school districts pursuant to regulations adopted by the State Board of Education under that Section shall not constitute a disposition of transferable property within the meaning of this Section, even though such exchange, trade or transfer occurs within 5 years after the textbooks are first provided for loan pursuant to Section 18‑17 of the School Code.
    (b) Except as provided in subsection (c), whenever it is deemed necessary to dispose of any item of transferable property, the administrator shall proceed to dispose of the property by sale or scrapping as the case may be, in whatever manner he considers most advantageous and most profitable to the State. Items of transferable property which would ordinarily be scrapped and disposed of by burning or by burial in a landfill may be examined and a determination made whether the property should be recycled. This determination and any sale of recyclable property shall be in accordance with rules promulgated by the Administrator.
    When the administrator determines that property is to be disposed of by sale, he shall offer it first to the municipalities, counties, and school districts of the State and to charitable, not‑for‑profit educational and public health organizations, including but not limited to medical institutions, clinics, hospitals, health centers, schools, colleges, universities, child care centers, museums, nursing homes, programs for the elderly, food banks, State Use Sheltered Workshops and the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, for purchase at an appraised value. Notice of inspection or viewing dates and property lists shall be distributed in the manner provided in rules and regulations promulgated by the Administrator for that purpose.
    Electronic data processing equipment purchased and charged to appropriations may, at the discretion of the administrator, be sold, pursuant to contracts entered into by the Director of Central Management Services or the heads of agencies exempt from "The Illinois Purchasing Act". However such equipment shall not be sold at prices less than the purchase cost thereof or depreciated value as determined by the administrator. No sale of the electronic data processing equipment and lease to the State by the purchaser of such equipment shall be made under this Act unless the Director of Central Management Services finds that such contracts are financially advantageous to the State.
    Disposition of other transferable property by sale, except sales directly to local governmental units, school districts, and not‑for‑profit educational, charitable and public health organizations, shall be subject to the following minimum conditions:
        (1) The administrator shall cause the property to be
     advertised for sale to the highest responsible bidder, stating time, place, and terms of such sale at least 7 days prior to the time of sale and at least once in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county where the property is to be sold.
        (2) If no acceptable bids are received, the
     administrator may then sell the property in whatever manner he considers most advantageous and most profitable to the State.
    (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, an agency covered by this Act may transfer books, serial publications, or other library materials that are transferable property, or that have been withdrawn from the agency's library collection through a regular collection evaluation process, to any of the following entities :
        (1) Another agency covered by this Act located in
     Illinois.
        (2) A State supported university library located in
     Illinois.
        (3) A tax‑supported public library located in
     Illinois, including a library established by a public library district.
        (4) A library system organized under the Illinois
     Library System Act or any library located in Illinois that is a member of such a system.
        (5) A non‑profit agency, located in or outside
     Illinois.
    A transfer of property under this subsection is not subject to the requirements of subsection (a) or (b).
    In addition, an agency covered by this Act may sell or exchange books, serial publications, and other library materials that have been withdrawn from its library collection through a regular collection evaluation process. Those items may be sold to the public at library book sales or to book dealers or may be offered through exchange to book dealers or other organizations. Revenues generated from the sale of withdrawn items shall be retained by the agency in a separate account to be used solely for the purchase of library materials; except that in the case of the State Library, revenues from the sale of withdrawn items shall be deposited into the State Library Fund to be used for the purposes stated in Section 25 of the State Library Act.
    For purposes of this subsection (c), "library materials" means physical entities of any substance that serve as carriers of information, including, without limitation, books, serial publications, periodicals, microforms, graphics, audio or video recordings, and machine readable data files.

    Agencies that desire to purchase new furniture shall first check with the administrator if any of the surplus furniture under the administrator's control can be used in place of new furniture. If an agency finds that it is unable to use the surplus property, the agency shall file an affidavit with the administrator prior to any purchase, specifying the types of new furniture to be bought, the quantities of each type of new furniture, the cost per type, and the total cost per category. The affidavit shall also clearly state why the furniture must be purchased new as opposed to obtained from the administrator's surplus.

    (30 ILCS 605/7.1)(from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.1)
    Sec. 7.1. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all surplus real property held by the State of Illinois shall be disposed of by the administrator as provided in this Section. "Surplus real property," as used in this Section, means any real property to which the State holds fee simple title or lesser interest, and is vacant, unoccupied or unused and which has no foreseeable use by the owning agency.
    (b) All responsible officers shall submit an Annual Real Property Utilization Report to the Administrator, or annual update of such report, on forms required by the Administrator, by July 31 of each year. The Administrator may require such documentation as he deems reasonably necessary in connection with this Report, and shall require that such Report include the following information:
    (1) A legal description of all real property owned by the State under the control of the responsible officer.
    (2) A description of the use of the real property listed under (1).
    (3) A list of any improvements made to such real property during the previous year.
    (4) The dates on which the State first acquired its interest in such real property, and the purchase price and source of the funds used to acquire the property.
    (5) Plans for the future use of currently unused real property.
    (6) A declaration of any surplus real property. On or before October 31 of each year the Administrator shall furnish copies of each responsible officer's report along with a list of surplus property indexed by legislative district to the General Assembly.
    This report shall be filed with the Speaker, the Minority Leader and the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the President, the Minority Leader and the Secretary of the Senate and shall be duplicated and made available to the members of the General Assembly for evaluation by such members for possible liquidation of unused public property at public sale.
    (c) Following receipt of the Annual Real Property Utilization Report required under paragraph (b), the Administrator shall notify all State agencies by October 31 of all declared surplus real property. Any State agency may submit a written request to the Administrator, within 60 days of the date of such notification, to have control of surplus real property transferred to that agency. Such request must indicate the reason for the transfer and the intended use to be made of such surplus real property. The Administrator may deny any or all such requests by a State agency or agencies if the Administrator determines that it is more advantageous to the State to dispose of the surplus real property under paragraph (d). In case requests for the same surplus real property are received from more than one State agency, the Administrator shall weigh the benefits to the State and determine to which agency, if any, to transfer control of such property. The Administrator shall coordinate the use and disposal of State surplus real property with any State space utilization program.
    (d) Any surplus real property which is not transferred to the control of another State agency under paragraph (c) shall be disposed of by the Administrator. No appraisal is required if during his initial survey of surplus real property the Administrator determines such property has a fair market value of less than $5,000. If the value of such property is determined by the Administrator in his initial survey to be $5,000 or more, then the Administrator shall obtain 3 appraisals of such real property, one of which shall be performed by an appraiser residing in the county in which said surplus real property is located. The average of these 3 appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the appraisals, shall represent the fair market value of the surplus real property. No surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator for less than the fair market value. Prior to offering the surplus real property for sale to the public the Administrator shall give notice in writing of the existence and fair market value of the surplus real property to the governing bodies of the county and of all cities, villages and incorporated towns in the county in which such real property is located. Any such governing body may exercise its option to acquire the surplus real property for the fair market value within 60 days of the notice. After the 60 day period has passed, the Administrator may sell the surplus real property by public auction following notice of such sale by publication on 3 separate days not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the sale in the State newspaper and in a newspaper having general circulation in the county in which the surplus real property is located. The Administrator shall post "For Sale" signs of a conspicuous nature on such surplus real property offered for sale to the public. If no acceptable offers for the surplus real property are received, the Administrator may have new appraisals of such property made. The Administrator shall have all power necessary to convey surplus real property under this Section. All moneys received for the sale of surplus real property shall be deposited in the General Revenue Fund, except that:
        (1) Where moneys expended for the acquisition of such
    real property were from a special fund which is still a special fund in the State treasury, this special fund shall be reimbursed in the amount of the original expenditure and any amount in excess thereof shall be deposited in the General Revenue Fund.
        (2) Whenever a State mental health facility operated
    by the Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate shall be deposited into the Community Mental Health Medicaid Trust Fund.
        (3) Whenever a State developmental disabilities
    facility operated by the Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate shall be deposited into the Community Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.
    The Administrator shall have authority to order such surveys, abstracts of title, or commitments for title insurance as may, in his reasonable discretion, be deemed necessary to demonstrate to prospective purchasers or bidders good and marketable title in any property offered for sale pursuant to this Section. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the General Assembly, all conveyances of property made by the Administrator shall be by quit claim deed.
    (e) The Administrator shall submit an annual report on or before February 1 to the Governor and the General Assembly containing a detailed statement of surplus real property either transferred or conveyed under this Section.

    Sec. 7.2. The Administrator, subject to the following conditions, shall have the authority to grant easements to public utilities.
    For purposes of this Act "public utility" means and includes every corporation, company, association, joint stock company or association, firm, partnership, individual, or other organization, their levees, trustees, or receiver appointed by any court whatsoever that owns, controls, operates, or manages, within this State, directly or indirectly, for public use, any plant, equipment, or property used or to be used for or in connection with, or owns or controls any franchise, license, permit, or right to engage in:

    e. the conveyance of oil or gas by pipe line.
    A. Whenever any public utility makes an application for a grant of an easement in, over, or upon real property of the State of Illinois for purposes of locating and maintaining such utility, the Administrator, with the consent of the agency having jurisdiction over the real property, may grant such easement. The Administrator shall determine whether or not such is adverse to the interests of the State of Illinois and shall impose such limitations on the grant as may be deemed necessary to protect the interests of the State of Illinois. Such grant may be made with or without consideration.
    B. The instrument granting the easement shall provide for termination upon:
    1. A failure to comply with any term or condition of the grant; or
    2. A nonuse of the easement for a consecutive 2 year period for the purpose granted; or
    3. An abandonment of the easement.
    Written notice of such termination shall be given to the grantee effective on the date of such notice.
    C. The authority granted by this Section shall be in addition to, and shall not affect or be subject to any law regarding granting of easements on State lands.

    (30 ILCS 605/7.3) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.3)
    Sec. 7.3. The Administrator shall have charge of all transferable property and shall have authority to take possession and control of such property in order to transfer or assign any such property to any other State agency that has need or use for such property or to dispose of said property in accordance with Section 7 of this Act.
    The Administrator may not dispose of a transferable airplane by sale until he or she determines that (i) the agency no longer has a need for the airplane, (ii) the airplane will not be used as a trade‑in on another aircraft, and (iii) no public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane has listed the need for an airplane as provided in this Section.
    Responsible officers shall periodically report all transferable property at locations under their jurisdictions to the Administrator. The Administrator shall review such reports and arrange for physical examination of said property if necessary to determine if said items of transferable property should be transferred to another State agency, transferred to a central warehouse, or disposed of. The Administrator shall advise responsible officers of the results of these reviews as necessary.
    The staff under the jurisdiction of the Administrator shall review as necessary State agencies' inventories for potential items of transferable property. If in the opinion of the Administrator's staff, any property appears to be transferable, the Administrator shall notify the responsible officer of his determination. The executive head of the agency holding the property in question may appeal the determination in writing to the Administrator.
    The Administrator will review the determination in accordance with rules and procedures established pursuant to Section 5 of this Act.
    The Administrator shall maintain lists of transferable property and of State agency needs for such property and will transfer where appropriate listed transferable property to agencies listing their needs for such property as detailed by their responsible officers. The Administrator must give priority for transfer of an airplane, that is not to be used as a trade‑in, to a public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane and that has listed the need for an airplane.
