The bill would authorize the CPA to negotiate a contract with a private vendor to outsource one or more of the required functions or related software and services. The bill would repeal several sections of Government Code related to state vehicle fleet management reporting requirements, maintenance activities, vehicle assignment, and application to institutions of higher education.The provisions of the bill would take effect September 1, 2011.

Methodology The Comptroller of Public Accounts reported that a contract with a private vendor would be necessary to fulfill the requirements of the bill's provisions. The CPA estimates costs associated with contract development, system implementation, and ongoing maintenance.This analysis assumes that centralization of the state's vehicle fleet would result in an indeterminate level of operational savings and process efficiencies. The extent of such savings cannot be determined because the structure of future centralization efforts is undefined.
