An Act relative to the enhanced disposition of surplus motor vehicles owned by the commonwealth or authorities established by the state
This bill requires the Commonwealth to first offer surplus state-owned motor vehicles (including construction and snow removal equipment) to cities and towns before selling them to the public. It mandates that the Executive Office of Administration and Finance create rules for these sales, covering notice, payment, delivery, and liability. The policy change streamlines the disposal process for unused vehicles owned by state agencies, prioritizing local municipalities as initial buyers. This affects how state authorities manage and sell surplus equipment, ensuring a structured two-step sale process.
