   60         (1)There is created within the Department of Management
   61  Services the Fleet Operations Management Pilot Program. The
   62  purpose of the pilot program is to assess the potential for cost
   63  savings through a contract with a vendor or contractor for
   64  privatizing the management and operation of state-owned motor
   65  vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition,
   66  maintenance facilities, and fuel operations. The pilot program
   67  may not include any vehicle designated for law enforcement
   68  purposes unless requested by the agency.
   69         (2)The Department of Management Services shall administer
   70  the Fleet Operations Management Pilot Program. The Department of
   71  Management Services shall competitively procure and contract
   72  with a vendor or contractor for privatizing state-owned motor
   73  vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition,
   74  maintenance facilities, and fuel operations for selected state
   75  entities. Any contract with a vendor or contractor for the pilot
   76  program must be competitively bid every 5 years. Any data that
   77  relates to the contract must be stored in at least one common
   78  format approved by the Department of Management Services, and

   80  Services. Any vehicle-monitoring hardware installed in a state
   81  owned motor vehicle must be commercially available and may not
   82  be proprietary to the vendor or contractor.
   83         (3)For each state entity selected by the Department of
   84  Management Services for inclusion in the pilot program, the
   85  Department of Management Services shall establish an average
   86  baseline of costs associated with state-owned motor vehicles,
   87  motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition, maintenance
   88  facilities, and fuel operations using the previous 3 fiscal
   89  years for the state entity.
   90         (4)By October 1, 2023, the Department of Management
   91  Services and three state entities selected by the Department of
   92  Management Services, which shall have a combined total vehicle
   93  fleet size of at least 5,000 vehicles, shall use the
   94  competitively procured contract selected by the Department of
   95  Management Services for privatizing the management and operation
   96  of state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and
   97  disposition, maintenance facilities, and fuel operations. Each
   98  state entity selected shall provide any information requested by
   99  the Department of Management Services necessary for privatizing
  100  the management of existing state-owned motor vehicles, motor
  101  vehicle acquisitions and disposition, maintenance facilities,
  102  fuel operations, and any full-time equivalent and other
  103  personal-services positions assigned to operate and maintain
  104  each state-owned maintenance facility and fuel operation.
  105         (5)By October 1, 2024, the Department of Management
  106  Services shall select 10 additional state entities who shall use
  107  the competitively procured contract selected by the Department
  108  of Management Services for privatizing the management and
  109  operation of state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle
  110  acquisitions and disposition, maintenance facilities, and fuel
  111  operations. Each state entity selected shall provide any
  112  information requested by the Department of Management Services
  113  necessary for privatizing the management of existing state-owned
  114  motor vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and disposition,
  115  maintenance facilities, fuel operations, and any full-time
  116  equivalent and other-personal-services positions assigned to
  117  operate and maintain each state-owned maintenance facility and
  118  fuel operation.
  119         (6)By October 1, 2025, the Department of Management
  120  Services shall direct all state entities to use the
  121  competitively procured contract selected by the Department of
  122  Management Services for privatizing the management and operation
  123  of state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle acquisitions and
  124  disposition, maintenance facilities, and fuel operations. Each
  125  state entity shall provide any information requested by the
  126  Department of Management Services necessary for privatizing the
  127  management of existing state-owned motor vehicles, motor vehicle
  128  acquisitions and disposition, maintenance facilities, fuel
  129  operations, and any full-time equivalent and other-personal
  130  services positions assigned to operate and maintain each state
  131  owned maintenance facility and fuel operation.
  132         (7)Annually beginning September 1, 2024, the Department of
  133  Management Services shall compile a report detailing the impact
  134  to full-time equivalent and other-personal-services positions
  135  and cost savings, if any, and submit such report, along with a
  136  list of its findings and recommendations regarding the pilot
  137  program, to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the
  138  Speaker of the House of Representatives.
  139         (8)If the Department of Management Services is unable to
  140  document at least $5 million in cost savings under the pilot
  141  program to the state by July 1, 2025, the pilot program and any
  142  vendor or contractor contracts may be terminated. The Department
  143  of Management Services may also terminate the pilot program and
  144  any vendor or contractor contracts earlier if its findings or
  145  earlier economic models indicate the pilot program will not
  146  result in significant cost savings to the state by July 1, 2025.
  147  The Department of Management Services may also accelerate the
  148  implementation of the pilot program by 1 fiscal year for each
  149  implementation stage if cost savings justify an accelerated
  150  implementation.
  151         Section 3. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law.
