Bill > SB178

This bill establishes new guidelines for how state agencies in Oklahoma manage their motor vehicle fleets. Under the new law, each state agency will be responsible for purchasing, managing, and maintaining its own motor vehicles, including developing rules and plans for routine maintenance and inspections, and keeping accurate records for reporting purposes. The bill modifies existing statutes to require agencies to provide electronic reports to state leadership at the end of each fiscal year, detailing information about their motor vehicle fleet, including inventory, maintenance records, and financial data. Additionally, the bill updates provisions related to state purchase cards, clarifying transaction limits and reporting requirements, and repeals several existing sections of law related to the State Fleet Management Division. The changes aim to improve accountability and transparency in state agency vehicle management, with the new provisions set to take effect on July 1, 2025, though the bill also includes an emergency clause suggesting immediate implementation is possible. These modifications will impact how state agencies track, maintain, and report on their motor vehicle assets.
