Bill > SB1343

This bill amends two pieces of legislation related to state property management, primarily focusing on two key changes. First, it modifies the Department of Central Management Services Law by removing references to the James R. Thompson Center, including deleting specific provisions about leasing its commercial spaces, and adding a new property at 115 South LaSalle Street in Chicago. Second, the bill changes the annual deadline for the Real Property Utilization Report from July 31 to August 31 of each year. This report, which must be submitted by responsible state officers, requires detailed information about state-owned real property, including legal descriptions, current uses, improvements, acquisition details, and future plans. The change in deadline provides state agencies slightly more time to compile and submit their comprehensive property reports to the state administrator, who will then review and distribute the information to the General Assembly by October 31. The bill maintains existing provisions about how surplus state property should be evaluated, offered to local governments, and potentially sold, ensuring transparency and potential cost-effectiveness in state property management.
