71 Pa. Stat. § 637
The Department of Property and Supplies shall, upon the effective date of this act, take over, and thereafter assume responsibility for, the maintenance and operation of all automobiles owned by the Commonwealth, or any administrative department, board, or commission thereof, except the Department of Highways.
After the effective date of this act, all automobiles required for use by the administrative departments, boards, commissions and officers of the State Government, shall be purchased by the Department of Property and Supplies, but, in purchasing automobiles required for the use of any department, board, or commission, having authority to purchase automobiles out of money appropriated to it, the Department of Property and Supplies shall act as purchasing agency.
The Department of Property and Supplies shall make or contract for the making of all repairs to automobiles owned by the Commonwealth, except those operated by the Department of Highways, unless in any case it shall specifically authorize any department, board, commission, or officer, to make or order the making of repairs to any specified automobiles, and, except emergency repairs necessarily made while any automobile is away from its garage.
The Department of Property and Supplies may assign to any department, board, or commission, such automobiles as may be required by it for full-time daily use, and such automobiles shall be operated by employes of such departments, boards, or commission. The department shall maintain a sufficient number of automobiles, not assigned to departments, boards, or commissions, to meet the requirements of departments, boards, and commissions which do not require the full-time daily use of automobiles, and to meet extraordinary and occasional demands of all departments, boards, and commissions, other than the Department of Highways. Such automobiles with or without chauffeurs, shall be furnished to departments, boards, or commissions, upon requisition of the heads of the respective departments, or of the executive officers of the respective boards or commissions. This paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit a State officer or employe from being reimbursed for the use of his own automobile on State business, but all such reimbursements shall be made under and subject to the rules of the Executive Board regulating the payment of expenses to State officers and employes.
The cost of oil, gasoline, tires, repair parts for and repairs to automobiles permanently assigned to departments, boards, and commissions, shall be paid out of the appropriations to such departments, boards, and commissions, but the Department of Property and Supplies shall contract for all such oil, gasoline, tires, repair parts, and repairs, except that repairs may be made by the Department of Highways, and, if authorized as hereinbefore provided, by other departments and by boards and commissions. For the use of other automobiles, departments, boards, and commissions shall be billed by the Department of Property and Supplies, upon a mileage basis, at such amount per mile as the Department of Property and Supplies, with the approval of the Governor, shall determine. Amounts payable for the use of such automobiles shall be paid out of the appropriations to such departments, boards, or commissions to the Department of Property and Supplies, and shall be, by it, paid into the General Fund of the State Treasury, through the Department of Revenue.
The Department of Property and Supplies shall require every administrative department, including the Department of Highways, and every independent administrative and departmental administrative board or commission, to report to it monthly, upon forms supplied by it, and with such detail as it shall require, the places to and from which each automobile was operated, the mileage traveled, the amount of oil and gasoline purchased, the names of employes of the department, board, or commission operating each automobile, the names of the employes of the department, board, or commission for whom the automobiles were operated, and such other information as may be necessary to enable the Department of Property and Supplies to make and keep complete records of the use and cost of operation of all State automobiles, except that it shall not be necessary for the Department of the Auditor General, the Treasury Department, or the Pennsylvania State Police, to report the places to and from which, or the names of the persons by or for whom automobiles were operated.
The types and number of automobiles to be purchased by the Department of Property and Supplies hereunder shall be subject to approval by the Executive Board, and the use of automobiles by State officers and employes shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the Executive Board.
Subject to the approval of the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings, the Department of Property and Supplies may sell automobiles, owned by the Commonwealth, when it deems it is in the public interest to do so. The proceeds of such sales shall be paid into the State Treasury, shall be credited to the appropriation to the department for the purchase of automobiles, or to any department, board or commission having authority to purchase automobiles with money appropriated to it, and are hereby appropriated to the respective department, board or commission for the purchase of automobiles.
