Bill > HB1402

This bill amends North Dakota law regarding the transfer of state surplus motor vehicles by modifying the existing process for how these vehicles are distributed. Currently, surplus property can be transferred at fair market value to state agencies, political subdivisions, and eligible nonprofit organizations. The proposed change introduces a new requirement that surplus motor vehicles must first be made available exclusively to political subdivisions (like counties, cities, or townships) for a 14-day period, during which they can purchase these vehicles at a discounted rate of 30% below fair market value. This provision gives local government entities priority access to state surplus motor vehicles before they can be offered to other potential buyers, potentially helping these subdivisions acquire vehicles at a more affordable price. The amendment aims to provide a structured and preferential process for political subdivisions to obtain surplus state-owned motor vehicles.
