     3    1. The head of a state agency having custody or control of such  prop-
     4  erty,  except  vehicles, may: (a) dispose of such property in accordance
     5  with applicable express statutory provisions, (b)  reuse  such  property
     6  within  the same state agency, (c) use the property in part payment on a
     7  new item which may include, but shall not be limited to, use as a trade-
     8  in or use in a guaranteed brokerage arrangement, (d) with the consent of
     9  the commissioner, place such property in the custody or control  of  the
    10  office  of  general  services  for  reuse by other state agencies or for
    11  other disposition, or (e) where the fair market value of  such  property
    12  is  less than an amount established from time to time by the commission-
    13  er, dispose of such property by such means as the  head  of  such  state
    14  agency  deems  to  be  in  the best interest of the state or donate such
    15  property to a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that is up  to  date

    18  audit.  Where personal property has been purchased from special funds, a
    19  state agency, upon designation of the source of funds  from  which  such
    20  property  was  purchased, may condition the disposal of such property on
    21  the reimbursement of such special fund in the amount of the fair  market
