The legislature finds that centralized control of state vehicles is in the best interest of the state because it permits the state to use its transportation resources in the most efficient and effective manner. The primary purposes of the Transportation Services Act are to:
A. provide a centralized agency to purchase state vehicles and to control their use;
B. implement and administer the State Aircraft Act [Chapter 15, Article 9 1978]; and
C. provide authorization for administration of the state's state and federal surplus property programs.
History: Laws 1994, ch. 119, § 2; 1995, ch. 161, § 4; 2007, ch. 29, § 1.
The 2007 amendment, effective July 1, 2007, deleted former Subsection C, which provided that a purpose of the act was to supervise and monitor the alternative fuel conversion program; deleted former Subsection D, which provided that a purpose of the act was to supervise and administer a state travel coordination program; and added new Subsection C to include as a purpose of the Transportation Services Act the administration of surplus property programs.
The 1995 amendment, effective June 1, 1995, subdivided the existing language to form Subsection A, added Subsections B through D, and substituted "The primary purposes of the Transportation Services Act are" for "the purpose of the Motor Pool Act is" in the introductory language.
