Summary

The bill makes it unlawful for most state employees to ride in or use state‑owned or leased automobiles, trucks, or pickups for personal purposes, imposing a fine of up to $100, up to 30 days in jail, and dismissal from state employment. It carves out specific exemptions for essential employees, law‑enforcement officers, emergency responders, and certain agency personnel, subject to distance limits, written approvals, and record‑keeping. The goal is to ensure state vehicles are used only for official duties and to generate cost savings for agencies.
