18-(a) The Commissioner of Administrative Services shall administer a property distribution program for the disposition of usable property that a state agency deems surplus to its operating needs. If any such property cannot be transferred between state agencies and there is not an immediate need to remove the property from a state facility, the commissioner shall offer the property for sale to municipalities and transit districts. If no municipality or transit district purchases the property, the commissioner shall offer the property for sale to the public, except that any motor vehicle from the state interagency motor pool, as described in section 4a-5, shall not be sold to any qualified veterans' charitable organization, as described in section 27-100f, for less than two thousand dollars. If the commissioner is unable to sell the property to a municipality or transit district or the public, the commissioner may donate the property to a nonprofit organization. The commissioner may dispose of any property that is not transferred, sold or donated, except that, in the case of any motor vehicle from the state interagency motor pool not transferred, sold or donated, the commissioner may offer such motor vehicle to any qualified veterans' charitable organization for the purpose of donating such motor vehicle to a veteran in accordance with section 2 of this act. The commissioner shall establish a process for notifying municipalities and nonprofit organizations of their eligibility to receive surplus property under this subsection.
