	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 633, as introduced, Olsen. California State University:
acquisition or replacement of motor vehicles.
   Under existing law, the Department of General Services exercises

state agencies. As of July 1, 2012, "state agencies" will be defined
for these purposes to include each campus of the California State
University.
   This bill would delete the reference to each campus of the
California State University from the defintion of state agencies
under these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 13332.09 of the Government Code, as added by
Section 4 of Chapter 679 of the Statutes of 2007, is amended to read:

   13332.09.  (a) No purchase order or other form of documentation
for acquisition or replacement of motor vehicles shall be issued
against any appropriation until the Department of General Services
has investigated and established the necessity therefor.
   (b) A state agency may not acquire surplus mobile equipment from
any source for program support until the Department of General
Services has investigated and established the necessity therefor.
   (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all contracts for
the acquisition of motor vehicles or general use mobile equipment for
a state agency shall be made by or under the supervision of the
Department of General Services. Pursuant to Section 10298 of the
Public Contract Code, the Department of General Services may collect
a fee to offset the cost of the services provided.
   (d) All passenger-type motor vehicles purchased for state officers
and employees, except constitutional officers, shall be
American-made vehicles of the light class, as defined by the
California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, unless
excepted by the Director of General Services on the basis of unusual
requirements, including, but not limited to, use by the California
Highway Patrol, that would justify the need for a motor vehicle of a
heavier class.
   (e) No general use mobile equipment having an original purchase
price of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or more shall be
rented or leased from a nonstate source and payment therefor made
from any appropriation for the use of the Department of
Transportation, without the prior approval of the Department of
General Services after a determination that comparable state-owned
equipment is not available, unless obtaining approval would endanger
life or property, in which case the transaction and the justification
for not having sought prior approval shall be reported immediately
thereafter to the Department of General Services.
   (f) As used in this section:
   (1) "General use mobile equipment" means equipment that is listed
in the Mobile Equipment Inventory of the State Equipment Council and
that is capable of being used by more than one state agency, and
shall not be deemed to refer to equipment having a practical use
limited to the controlling state agency only. Section 575 of the
Vehicle Code shall have no application to this section.
   (2) "State agency" means a state agency, as defined pursuant to
Section 11000  ,   and each campus of the
California State University  . The University of California
is requested and encouraged to have the Department of General
Services perform the tasks identified in this section with respect to
the acquisition or replacement of motor vehicles by the University
of California.
   (g) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2012.
