HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

145th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

HOUSE BILL NO. 305

AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION OF STATE EMPLOYEES.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE:

Section 1.Amend Chapter 71, Title 29 of the Delaware Code by adding a new section "§7108" thereto as follows:

"§7108.Other permissible users of state-owned vehicles.

Notwithstanding the definition of the term "agency" set forth in §7101 of this Chapter, operators of group homes contracted through the Department of Health and Social Services' Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDDS) may contract with Fleet Services for the sole purpose of obtaining vehicles necessary for the operation of the contracted group homes, subject to all provisions of the Fleet Services Acceptable Use Policies.".

SYNOPSIS

Current Federal regulations will not allow group home operators, funded by the Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDDS), to be billed by DDDS for use of Fleet Services vehicles.Federal regulations instead require that group home operators contract directly with Fleet Services.This statutory change will allow Delaware to continue to receive $1 million to $1.25 million a year in Federal funds to provide services to people with developmental disabilities.
