ARTICLE 3. PURCHASING DIVISION.

The secretary of administration shall promulgate rules
relating to the ownership, purchase, use, storage, maintenance
and repair of all motor vehicles and aircraft owned by the state

sections forty-eight through fifty-three of this article shall not apply to the division of highways of the department of

kept in such garages, and other places of storage, and to be made
available in such manner and under such terms for the official
use of such departments, institutions, agencies, officers, agents
and employees of the state as the secretary may designate by any
such rule as he or she may from time to time promulgate. The

regulations promulgated by the governor in accordance with
