This bill amends the Management and Budget Act of 1984 by updating sections 213 and 267 to enhance the management of state-owned motor vehicles and surplus personal property. Key changes include the clarification of terms such as "motor vehicle" and the establishment of directives for the purchasing, leasing, and maintenance of these 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 official uses.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions for the disposal of surplus personal property, particularly focusing on surplus motor vehicles. It requires that before any surplus motor vehicle is donated, disposed of, or sold, it must first be made available for sale to foster youth through a voucher system. This aims to provide opportunities for young individuals transitioning out of the foster care system. The bill also specifies that surplus snow removal and road construction equipment must be offered to local road agencies before other disposal methods are considered. Overall, these amendments aim to improve the efficiency and accountability of state vehicle management and surplus property disposal.
