POWERS WITH RESPECT TO STATE-OWNED MOTOR VEHICLES (§ 2.2-120)

A. The Governor may prescribe, by general or special executive orders,
regulations for the purchase, use, storage, maintenance and repair of all motor
vehicles owned by the Commonwealth, and in the possession of any state
department, institution or agency where his supervision is not forbidden by the
Constitution.

B. The Governor may use any building or land owned by the Commonwealth, and not
required to be used for other purposes, for storing and garaging state-owned
motor vehicles. He may employ watchmen or guards, mechanics and other labor to
repair and service such vehicles, and provide for the purchase of gasoline, oil
and other supplies for such vehicles, and allocate among the various departments
and agencies using such vehicles their proportionate part of the cost of
repairs, servicing, gasoline, oil, and other supplies.

C. The Governor may create in the State Treasurer&#8217;s office a special fund
to be reflected on the books of the Comptroller, out of which all costs and
expenses incurred pursuant to this section shall be paid. All allocations of
costs and charges for repairing and servicing motor vehicles made against any
institution, agency, or department shall, when approved by the department head,
be paid into the special fund by interdepartmental transfers on the
Comptroller&#8217;s books. All funds so paid or transferred into the special
fund are appropriated for the purposes of this section and shall be paid out on
warrants of the Comptroller issued upon vouchers signed by the state officer or
employee designated by the Governor.

D. The Governor may, by executive order or regulation, impose upon the Director
of the Department of Planning and Budget, or any other agency of the executive
branch of the state government, any or all administrative duties pertaining to
the administration of this section.

E. If any state officer, agent or employee fails to comply with any rule,
regulation or order of the Governor made pursuant to this section, the
Comptroller shall, upon order of the Governor, refuse to issue any warrant on
account of expenses incurred, or to be incurred in the purchase, operation,
maintenance, or repair of any motor vehicle now or to be in the possession or
under the control of such officer, agent or employee, or the Governor may order
some state officer or agent to take possession of the vehicle and transfer it to
some other department, institution, agency, officer, agent or employee, or to
make such other disposition as the Governor may direct.
