Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 405-280. State garages; charging stations; 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; to supervise and administer the design, purchase, installation, operation, and maintenance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and associated improvements on any property that is owned or controlled by the State; 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 January 1, 2013 (the effective date of Public Act 97-922), 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.
