SB343

This bill centralizes the management of state-owned motor vehicles by transferring oversight and administrative responsibilities from the Department of Finance and Administration to the Department of Shared Administrative Services. It mandates that state agencies register all motor vehicles annually and report on vehicle acquisition and disposal to ensure a current inventory. The bill requires the installation of global positioning devices on all non-law enforcement state-owned vehicles by January 1, 2028. It also establishes procedures for maintaining, auditing, and disclosing records related to the location and travel history of these vehicles, with a 30-day delay on public disclosure. Furthermore, it empowers the Department of Shared Administrative Services to set criteria for vehicle reassignment among state agencies and to promulgate rules for implementation. The bill's provisions, excluding the initial legislative adjustments, are set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
