EXECUTIVE ORDER 2023-14

In February 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I issued Executive Order 2020-04, to address the surplus of vehicles owned by the State. While the pandemic necessarily shifted focus from certain efforts-perhaps including the charge of Executive Order 2020-04-the State has reinitiated an aggressive push to downsize the state fleet, after it was brought back to my attention that at least hundreds of state-owned vehicles were being underutilized and were unnecessary to the performance of government functions. Since January 1, 2023, the State has downsized its fleet of vehicles by more than 350 vehicles, and I am confident there is more work to be done in this context.

Therefore, to have additional facts necessary to make an informed decision regarding the State's remaining vehicle fleet, I, J. Kevin Stitt, Governor of the State of Oklahoma, by the authority vested in me pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of Article VI of the Oklahoma Constitution and to the fullest extent permitted by Oklahoma law, hereby direct and order as follows:

In order to more accurately track the use of all State vehicles, the administrative head of every "state agency" (as that term is defined in 61 O.S. § 327(A)) will take all necessary actions to insure that all vehicles owned by the State and under the control of the state agency have been scheduled with OMES Fleet Management, no later than June 30 th , 2023, to be equipped with an automatic vehicle locator (AVL) and placed on the Fleet Management M5 System. To schedule the installation of the AVL and to schedule implementation of the M5 System, agency heads should contact OMES Fleet Management at fleet.system@omes.ok.gov. Any exception to this process must be approved by the Director of OMES.

This Executive Order shall be distributed to all members of the Governor's Executive Cabinet and the administrative heads and chief executives of all state agencies, who shall cause the provisions of this Order to be implemented forthwith.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Oklahoma to be affixed at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, this 8 th day of May, 2023.

BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA

J. Kevin Stitt
