This bill amends and reenacts sections 5A-12-1 and 5A-12-3 of the Code of West Virginia, while repealing section 5A-12-14. The primary purpose of the bill is to modernize the responsibilities and authority of the Fleet Management Division by allowing the adoption of telematic systems for monitoring state-owned vehicles. The bill introduces the definition of "telematic" as an electronic device or system used to monitor the activity, locations, actions, or performance of state vehicles. Additionally, it updates the duties of the Fleet Management Division to include the provision of telematics as part of their management services.

The bill also removes outdated language related to a one-time legislative compliance audit, thereby streamlining the responsibilities of the Fleet Management Division.
