1    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 1. Legislative intent. Saving money and cutting
5costs on behalf of Illinois taxpayers is an important aspect
6when considering potential legislation. To that end, the
7General Assembly looks for avenues in which to save taxpayers'
8money by finding ways to simplify or refine certain State
9operations. Under current State policy, State-owned motor
10vehicles are required to undergo an oil change every
113,000-5,000 miles, regardless of whether an oil change may
12truly be required given that vehicle's make and model. It is
13the intent of the General Assembly with this legislation to
14reduce the frequency of needless oil changes to State-owned
15vehicles, and the expenses that go along with them, and reduce
16the frequency with which such expenses are passed on to the
17taxpayers.
 
18    Section 5. The Department of Central Management Services
19Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by
20changing Section 405-280 as follows:
 
21    (20 ILCS 405/405-280)  (was 20 ILCS 405/67.15)
22    Sec. 405-280. State garages; passenger cars.

14from the agency head of the operational needs justifying the
15purchase.
