Public Safety Department could sell its old vehicles

The state's Public Safety Department would be able to sell or trade its old vehicles under a bill passed Thursday by the state Senate.

The law currently requires the department's commissioner to first offer its vehicles to the state public safety training center for training purposes. House Bill 253 frees the commissioner to instead sell the vehicles for market price and use the money toward new ones.

With the 49-1 vote, the bill goes back to the House for approval.
