were recommended and made available; and

 
11.__Motor vehicle replacement policy.__To require that
requisitions for replacement motor vehicles include the age and
total mileage of the motor vehicles being replaced.__For the
purposes of this subsection, "motor vehicles" means passenger
cars and panel and pickup trucks, excluding those vehicles
authorized and assigned for pursuit purposes.__Under no
circumstances are any state vehicles to be used for commuting
purposes.__It is the intent of the Legislature that motor
vehicles be in service for at least 5 years or 75,000 miles,
whichever occurs first, before they are replaced.__This policy
must also be adopted by the State Budget Officer when preparing a
budget document.__Exceptions to this replacement policy require
the prior approval of the Commissioner of Administrative and
Financial Services.__The Commissioner of Administrative and
Financial Services may also set appropriate standards with regard
to motor vehicle type, size and equipment and direct that all
motor vehicles be purchased in accordance with a commodity
calendar established by the Director of the Bureau of General
Services.

4.__State cost allocation program.__The state cost allocation
program must annually identify the kind and cost of central
services furnished to each state agency from General Fund
appropriations.__The non-General Fund portion of each agency must
be assessed for these services as determined by the state cost
allocation program procedures to the extent that payments are not
expressly prohibited by state or federal law or by the terms of a
gift or donation made to the State from private sources.__These
payments must be credited to the General Fund as undedicated
revenue.__The state cost allocation program may provide for the
separate assessment of certain statewide single audit costs to
federally funded programs.__The commissioner, or the
commissioner's designee, may adjust this assessment to any
individual account.

 
Non-General Fund resources that contribute to funding costs
related to general departmentwide functions, such as accounting,
personnel administration, maintenance of property records and
general purchasing, that have been made available to an account
by legislative action may be consolidated into one or more
administrative accounts, unless such a consolidation is expressly
prohibited by state or federal law.__All resources and costs
affected by such a consolidation must be properly identified and
included in the budget process in accordance with chapter 149.__
