2023 Colorado Revised Statutes › Title 24 - GOVERNMENT - STATE (§§ 24-1-101 — 24-116-102) › PRINCIPAL DEPARTMENTS (§§ 24-30-101 — 24-36-306) › Article 30 - DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL - STATE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES (§§ 24-30-101 — 24-30-2305) › Part 11 - DIVISION OF CENTRAL SERVICES (§§ 24-30-1101 — 24-30-1118) › Section 24-30-1112 - Permanent assignment of vehicles - state agency - verification of minimum mileage - revocation

(1)
A state-owned motor vehicle that is part of the state motor vehicle fleet established pursuant to section
24-30-1104(2)
may be assigned by the department of personnel to a state agency pursuant to this section. In addition, any state-owned motor vehicle that is assigned to a state agency may be further assigned by the executive director of the state agency or by the executive director's designee to an officer or employee of the state agency pursuant to section
24-30-1113
.
(2)
Unless a state agency can justify to the department of personnel the need for permanent assignment of a vehicle because of its unique use, the department of personnel may permanently assign a state-owned motor vehicle to a state agency only if the use of the vehicle by the state agency is likely to meet the minimum required mileage established by the department of personnel for the utilization classification associated with the vehicle's intended work function and the use of such vehicle by the state agency complies with any additional criteria established by the department of personnel in rules. A vehicle that is assigned to a state agency must be parked at a state facility, as defined by rule, when the vehicle is not in use unless the vehicle has been assigned to an officer or employee of the state agency pursuant to section
24-30-1113
.
(3)
The department of personnel shall establish a program and adopt rules providing for annual verification that each state-owned motor vehicle permanently assigned to a state agency has met the minimum required mileage based on the appropriate utilization classification. If verification establishes that a vehicle has not met the minimum annual mileage rate and other criteria established in rules and if the responsible state agency cannot justify such lower mileage or failure to meet other criteria, the department of personnel shall revoke the permanent assignment of the vehicle immediately.
(4)
The department of personnel shall adopt rules governing the procedure for revocation of assignment of state-owned motor vehicles that have been permanently assigned to a state agency. Revocation of assignment shall occur when the department of personnel determines that:
(a)
The vehicle has been used for other than official business or has been used for commuting without being assigned to an officer or employee of the state agency pursuant to section
24-30-1113
;
(b)
(I)
The state agency has not submitted reports or other documentation to the department of personnel that it is required to submit pursuant to rules adopted by the department; or
(II)
Any reports or other documentation that the state agency has submitted fail to meet the standards established in rules adopted by the department of personnel for the submission of such reports and documentation and the state agency has not cured the deficiencies within thirty days after receiving notification from the department of personnel of such deficiency;
(c)
The state agency has knowingly and willfully supplied false information to the department of personnel regarding the permanent assignment of the motor vehicle to the state agency;
(d)
A state-owned motor vehicle has been abused; or
(e)
A violation of other rules promulgated by the department of personnel has occurred, which warrants revocation of assignment to the state agency as specified in the rules adopted by the department of personnel.
(5)
The department of personnel shall not honor new requisitions for assignment of vehicle following the revocation of assignment until the department of personnel is assured that the violation for which a vehicle was previously revoked will not recur.
