Makes a second or subsequent violation of the Act a Class A misdemeanor. Effective immediately. STATE MANDATES NOTE (Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs) SB 1258 (Ham #1,3) pertains to State property and does not impose requirements on units of local government. Therefore, in the opinion of DCCA, SB 1258 (Ham #1,3) does not create a State mandate under the State Mandates Act. FISCAL NOTE (Illinois Department of Central Management Services) SB 1258 (Ham #1,3) would result in increased administrative expenditures, and would impact CMS in three areas. First, Amendment #3 would require an appraisal (at approximately $2000 per appraisal) for any property in excess of $10 per square foot in value, which would impact approximately 120 lease arrangements each year and cost appoximately $240,000 each year. Second, the changes could prevent agencies from leasing to numerous programs for which agencies provide space grant-related or other program-related users at nominal rent. As a result, the state would probably either have to award larger grants to those programs or lose their services. Third, there are cases in which leasing unproductive or unused state government property at a cost below fair market value actually saves money for the state by avoiding operating costs. For example, by leasing the former Zeller Mental Health facility to Illinois Community College, state government is saving $1.5 million in annual operating expenses for unproductive or unused property. The state is also saving $2.8 million in planned capital projects scheduled for FY 03.
