Bill > HB4820

This bill amends Michigan's management and budget act to modify how state agencies handle motor vehicles and surplus property. It updates existing provisions by expanding the department's authority to manage state-owned vehicles, including establishing guidelines for purchasing, leasing, maintaining, and disposing of motor vehicles. Notably, the bill introduces a new requirement that before donating, disposing of, or selling surplus motor vehicles, the department must first offer them for sale to foster youth through a voucher system. The bill defines foster youth as individuals over 16 years old who are in the youth in transition program. Additionally, the bill makes several technical changes, such as updating language from "shall" to "must" and clarifying existing regulations about vehicle use, repair centers, and the motor transport revolving fund. The changes aim to provide more structured and transparent processes for state vehicle management and create an opportunity for foster youth to potentially acquire state-owned vehicles at fair market value.
