---|
60 | 53 | | SECTION 1. NEW LAW A new section of law not to be |
---|
61 | 54 | | codified in the Oklahoma Statutes reads as follows: |
---|
62 | 55 | | The Oklahoma Legislature finds that persons who have been |
---|
63 | 56 | | incarcerated may find it difficult to secure employment unless they |
---|
64 | 57 | | have reliable methods of transportation both to and from work. The |
---|
65 | 58 | | Legislature finds that it is desirable public policy and in |
---|
66 | 59 | | furtherance of an essential governmental function to provide a means |
---|
67 | 60 | | by which such persons, as further provided by this act, may make |
---|
98 | 90 | | financial support for family members. The Legislature finds that |
---|
99 | 91 | | making surplus state vehicles available through the program created |
---|
100 | 92 | | pursuant to the provisions of this act constitutes an effect ive |
---|
101 | 93 | | means to promote the well-being of the persons identifi ed in this |
---|
102 | 94 | | act and through the use of selected nonprofit entities in the |
---|
103 | 95 | | selection process and monitoring the use of such vehicles the State |
---|
104 | 96 | | of Oklahoma is likely to benefit from the payment of in come taxes |
---|
105 | 97 | | based on compensation paid to these persons, sale s taxes on |
---|
106 | 98 | | purchases made with their disposable income, motor fuel taxes, and |
---|
107 | 99 | | any number of other state or local taxes that are derived from the |
---|
108 | 100 | | economic activity of persons who might not other wise be in a |
---|
109 | 101 | | position to make such contributions to the state o r local economies. |
---|
110 | 102 | | SECTION 2. NEW LAW A new section of law to be codified |
---|
111 | 103 | | in the Oklahoma Statutes as Section 62.10 of Title 74, unless there |
---|
112 | 104 | | is created a duplication in numbering, read s as follows: |
---|
113 | 105 | | The Office of Management and Ente rprise Services (OMES) shall |
---|
114 | 106 | | promulgate rules and any necessary procedures to develop a program |
---|
115 | 107 | | allowing for the distribution of state surplus vehicles to certain |
---|
116 | 108 | | nonprofit organizations in this state. Eligible nonprofit |
---|
117 | 109 | | organizations shall be those that offer assistance to certain |
---|
118 | 110 | | persons recently released from prisons in this state. The OMES |
---|
148 | 139 | | The program shall include , but not be limited to, the following |
---|
149 | 140 | | specifications: |
---|
150 | 141 | | 1. The OMES shall establish set criteria regarding which state |
---|
151 | 142 | | surplus vehicles qualify for distribution in the program. In making |
---|
152 | 143 | | the determination, the OMES may consider the actual market value of |
---|
153 | 144 | | the surplus vehicle, roadworthiness of the vehicle, type of vehicle, |
---|
154 | 145 | | the number of surplus vehicles the state has in inventory, or other |
---|
155 | 146 | | relevant considerations. |
---|
156 | 147 | | 2. Eligible nonprofit organizations may make an application to |
---|
157 | 148 | | the OMES for available surplus vehicles that meet the criteria for |
---|
158 | 149 | | distribution under thi s section. |
---|
159 | 150 | | 3. Former prisoner eligibility for the program shall be based |
---|
160 | 151 | | upon a screening process devel oped by the nonprofit organization or |

---|
162 | 153 | | eligibility of a former prisoner for the program shall include, but |
---|
163 | 154 | | not be limited to, the nature of the cri me in which the person was |
---|
164 | 155 | | convicted, if the sentence was served, and an evaluation need based |
---|
165 | 156 | | on the income of the person. However, no person convicted of a |
---|
166 | 157 | | violent crime or a sex crime shall be el igible for the program. |
---|
167 | 158 | | 4. Upon a receiving a new conviction, persons who qualified for |
