The bill amends subsection 3 of section 54-44-04.6 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the transfer of state surplus motor vehicles. The new language specifies that surplus motor vehicles must first be made available for purchase to political subdivisions for a period of fourteen days at a cost of thirty percent less than their fair market value. This change aims to prioritize local government entities in acquiring surplus vehicles, ensuring they have access to these resources at a reduced cost.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement that surplus property must be transferred at fair market value to state agencies, political subdivisions, and nonprofit organizations that are eligible to receive federal surplus property. Eligible organizations will continue to be notified regularly about the availability of surplus property, ensuring transparency and accessibility in the distribution of state resources.
