Committee raises city and county fleet aftermarket allowance to $2,000
Summary
House Bill 1145, as amended to add Senator Hill as a sponsor, increases the allowed aftermarket-products allowance for municipal and county fleet vehicles to $2,000 to account for inflation; the committee passed the bill as amended by voice vote.
Representative Ricky Hill explained House Bill 1145, which increases the dollar limit that cities and counties may spend on aftermarket products for fleet vehicles (for example bumpers, grille guards, or other upfits) from previous limits ($600 for some purchases and $1,200 for county items cited) up to $2,000. The sponsor characterized the change as an inflation adjustment to permit necessary fleet outfitting without requiring additional procurement steps.
Senators and committee members framed the amendment that added Senator Hill as a senate sponsor, which was adopted by voice vote. The committee then moved to pass the bill as amended; the motion carried on a voice vote. The committee record does not include a roll-call tally or a fiscal note in the brief hearing.
The bill applies to municipal and county fleet procurement procedures; the transcript does not provide a detailed procurement code crosswalk or fiscal estimate for the statewide impact.
