Part 3. OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Chapter 69. CENTRAL PURCHASING

Subchapter C. MANAGEMENT OF VEHICLES

1 TAC §69.35, §69.36

The Office of the Attorney General adopts new Subchapter C, relating to the management of vehicles, and new §69.35 and §69.36, relating to State Vehicle Management Plan and Restrictions on Assignment of Vehicles, without changes to the proposed text as published in the May 18, 2001, issue of the Texas Register (26 TexReg 3575).

House Bill 3125, 76th Texas Legislature, mandated the Office of Vehicle Fleet Management, under the direction of the Council on Competitive Government, to develop and implement a vehicle management plan to improve the administration and operation of the state's fleet. The management plan was adopted by the Council of Competitive Government on October 11, 2000. House Bill 3125, now codified in Government Code §2171, requires state agencies to adopt rules consistent with the plan.

No comments were received regarding the adoption of these new sections.

The new subchapter is adopted pursuant to Government Code §2171.1045, which requires agencies to adopt rules relating to the assignment and use of their vehicles.

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.

Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on June 26, 2001.
