A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact subsection 3 of section 54-44-04.6 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to state surplus motor vehicles.
HB1402 proposes amendments to the North Dakota Century Code regarding the transfer of surplus motor vehicles. The bill stipulates that surplus property must be sold at fair market value to state agencies, political subdivisions, and eligible nonprofit organizations. It also mandates that these organizations be regularly notified about the availability of surplus property. Specifically, surplus motor vehicles must first be made available to political subdivisions for a period of fourteen days at a price that is thirty percent less than their fair market value.
If enacted, HB1402 would modify the existing procedures for the disposal of surplus motor vehicles in North Dakota. This change would potentially streamline the process for local governments and eligible nonprofits to acquire surplus vehicles at a reduced cost, thereby promoting the efficient use of state resources. The bill aims to ensure that surplus vehicles are utilized effectively within the community before being offered to other entities.
