Text

1. The director shall establish within the department a central vehicle management
system to regulate the operation, maintenance, and management of all motor vehicles
owned or leased by the state subject to registration under chapters 39-04 and 39-05.
Upon the request of a state agency and an agreement between the agency and
director for the use of the motor vehicle-related equipment, the director may purchase
or lease motor vehicle-related equipment and include that equipment within the
system. The director shall provide a uniform method of documenting the use and cost
of operation of motor vehicles and motor vehicle-related equipment in the system. The
director shall advise the director of the office of management and budget as to the
need to acquire or dispose of system motor vehicles. The specifications for highway
patrol vehicles to be acquired may be set by the highway patrol superintendent. Every
state agency, institution, department, board, bureau, and commission unless exempted

by the director must use the system. At the request of the director of the North Dakota
agricultural experiment station, certain vehicles used in farming operations at the
agronomy seed farm and branch research centers shall be exempt from the
requirements of this section. However, an agency, institution, department, board,
bureau, or commission may authorize the use of an employee's personal motor vehicle
pursuant to subsection 4 of section 54-06-09.
2. The director may enter into an agreement with a state employee who has a disability
requiring a specially-equipped vehicle to pay a mileage rate greater than the rate
established in section 54-06-09 for the employee's use of the employee's
specially-equipped motor vehicle while conducting state business. The rate must be
based on the rate provided in section 54-06-09, increased by the actual cost per mile
caused by the special equipment, and may not exceed the cost associated with the
special equipment expressed as the new value plus the depreciated fair market value
in eight years divided by two, divided by twenty thousand miles.
3. Each entity required to use the system shall submit records of the operation of each
vehicle as directed by the director.
4. The director may enter an agreement for the use of the motor vehicle-related
equipment with the North Dakota art museum established in section 54-02-11.
