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. Key changes include the clarification of terms such as "motor vehicle" and the establishment of directives for the department regarding the purchasing, leasing, and maintenance of motor vehicles for state agencies. The bill mandates that rates charged for vehicle use must be reviewed periodically and must cover the costs associated with the administration and operation of these vehicles. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for state-owned vehicles to display distinctive registration plates to identify state ownership, with exceptions for certain uses.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions for the disposal of surplus personal property, particularly focusing on surplus motor vehicles. It requires that before donating or selling these vehicles, they must first be made available for sale to foster youth through a voucher system. This aims to provide opportunities for individuals in transition from foster care. The bill also clarifies the definitions of "foster youth" and "local road agency" to ensure proper implementation of these directives. Overall, the amendments aim to enhance the management of state resources while providing support to vulnerable populations.
