An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in powers and duties of the Department of General Services and its departmental administrative and advisory boards and commissions, providing for program for sale of used pursuit vehicles.
HB 169 creates a program allowing local and regional police departments in Pennsylvania to purchase used pursuit vehicles (police patrol vehicles) from the state at fixed prices. The Department of General Services must allocate up to 10% of the Pennsylvania State Police's used pursuit vehicle inventory for this program, requiring payment via organization check before purchase. Police departments must submit a form detailing desired vehicles, and the state will notify them when matching vehicles become available. The bill specifies that prices are set by the department and not subject to negotiation, with rules for administration to be developed by the department. This applies only to existing state-owned patrol vehicles, not new purchases.
