MODERATE

The bill was amended to transfer property from the Department of Corrections instead of Central Management Services, expanding the transfer to include both land and tangible personal property. The revision also adds stricter conditions requiring the land to be used exclusively for public purposes like recreation and conservation, with an automatic reversion clause if those conditions are violated.

Scope change

The scope of the transfer was expanded from real property only to include real property and all existing tangible personal property on that land.

SCOPE

The authorized agency changed from the Director of Central Management Services to the Director of Corrections.

The transfer now includes a quitclaim bill of sale for all existing tangible personal property on the real estate, in addition to the land itself.

REQUIREMENT

New conditions require the property to be used only for public purposes (recreation and conservation) and include an automatic reversion clause if the property is sold, donated, or used for non-public purposes.

FISCAL

The Department of Corrections is now responsible for bearing all costs associated with the conveyance and transfer, whereas previously the State of Illinois was implied as the sole payer.
