This bill amends the Management and Budget Act of 1984 by updating sections 213 and 267, which pertain to the management of state-owned motor vehicles and the disposal of surplus personal property, respectively. Key changes include the clarification of terms such as "motor vehicle" and the establishment of directives for the purchasing, leasing, and maintenance of state vehicles. The bill mandates that the rates charged for vehicle use must be periodically reviewed to ensure they cover administrative costs and vehicle operations. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for state-owned vehicles to display distinctive registration plates, with exceptions for certain officials and investigative uses.

In section 267, the bill introduces new provisions for the disposal of surplus personal property, allowing for donations to nonprofit entities and sales to local governments or through public sales. It also requires that before disposing of surplus snow removal or road maintenance equipment, the department must first offer it for sale to local road agencies. A significant addition is the requirement that surplus motor vehicles be made available for sale to foster youth through a voucher system before any other disposal method is considered. The bill defines "foster youth" as individuals over 16 years old in the youth in transition program, ensuring that this demographic has access to state resources.
