DOA Agency Requests.
This bill updates the North Carolina Department of Administration's responsibilities for managing state real property and changes how seized vehicles are sold. It requires the department to create a five-year facilities plan to better utilize state-owned buildings and mandates quarterly reports on abandoned or underused properties. Additionally, the bill allows for the expedited sale of seized vehicles with low market value or high storage costs to reduce liability, and it encourages state agencies to use existing state-owned office space instead of leasing new ones.
