17 | to the State. However, the Department may purchase motor | ||||||
18 | vehicles not meeting or exceeding a breakeven analysis only if | ||||||
19 | there is no alternative available to carry out agency work | ||||||
20 | functions and the purchase is approved by the Manager of the | ||||||
21 | Division of Vehicles upon the receipt of a written explanation | ||||||
22 | from the agency head of the operational needs justifying the | ||||||
23 | purchase.
