3.1.6 Donated Vehicles

With prior approval from OFM and where permitted by law, state agencies are authorized to take title and possession of vehicles donated to the state and to provide funds for the operation, maintenance and protection of these vehicles. 

Unless approved by OPB, donated vehicles cannot be accepted as state property with any conditions or exceptions. Neither can they be returned to the donor nor can any portion of their value or of any proceeds from their disposal be returned to the donor. Once donated, they are no different from state vehicles acquired in any other way and must be properly registered, licensed, and insured. Donated vehicles will not be replaced with appropriated funding. It will be the agency’s responsibility to obtain funding external to state appropriations to replace the vehicle. Donated vehicles must comply with the requirements of the Vehicle Acquisition Matrix found in Appendix C-3.
