Section 5. Department of Administrative Services, 50-5-1 through 50-5-202.

ARTICLE 3 STATE PURCHASING

50-5-103. Purchase of motor vehicles, material, equipment, or supplies in name of state; procedure.

Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the Department of Administrative Services, upon receiving a request to do so from a political subdivision, may purchase for the political subdivision in the name of the state any motor vehicle, material, equipment, or supplies desired by the political subdivision. The commissioner of administrative services is authorized to prescribe such rules, regulations, and procedures as he shall deem advisable concerning the purchase of motor vehicles, material, equipment, and supplies for the political subdivisions. However, no motor vehicle, material, equipment, or supplies shall be purchased in accordance with this Code section until the political subdivision shall place in the hands of the Department of Administrative Services a certified or cashier's check in an amount sufficient to cover the purchase price of the motor vehicle, material, equipment, or supplies. The Department of Administrative Services is authorized and empowered to execute the necessary documents to divest the state of all title in and to such motor vehicles, material, equipment, or supplies, and to vest in the political subdivision for whom the motor vehicle, material, equipment, or supplies were purchased all such rights in and title to the vehicles, material, equipment, or supplies.

(Ga. L. 1969, p. 940, § 1.)

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Sheriff not political subdivision.

- Sheriff cannot legally purchase vehicle through the state police car contract when the sheriff will personally have the title to the vehicle in the sheriff's own name as opposed to that of the political subdivision for which the person is serving as a sheriff; the sheriff acting as an individual is not a political subdivision, and only political subdivisions are authorized by this section to purchase motor vehicles through the state. 1973 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 73-47.

Area planning and development commissions (now regional development centers) are authorized to use department to obtain best prices and terms available in the marketplace; an alternative is for local political subdivisions to purchase the necessary equipment, material, or supplies through the department and then appropriate or loan the material, equipment, or supplies to the area planning and development commissions in the commission's area. 1970 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 70-202.

Cost of motor vehicle license plates is expense of Revenue Department. 1969 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 69-461.
