facility for the homeless or a nonprofit organization that has | | been determined to be exempt from taxation under the United | | States Internal Revenue Code, Section 501 (c) and that | | provides services to persons with physical or mental handicaps | | as defined in section 4553, subsection 7-A. |
|
| | | D.__"Fire department" means a department required to report | | to the State Fire Marshal pursuant to Title 25, section | | 2395. |
|
| | | 2. Surplus property. Pursuant to this chapter and rules | promulgated | | Administration and Financial Services through the Bureau of | Purchases | | property to homeless shelter sponsors and to educational | | institutions. |
|
| | | 3.__Computers to fire departments.__Notwithstanding any | | requirement of this chapter or rules adopted pursuant to this | | chapter, a fire department may purchase one personal computer | | from the Bureau of General Services to be used for reporting to | | the State Fire Marshal as required under Title 25, section 2395.__ | | The Bureau of General Services may charge a fire department only | | the reasonable administrative and handling costs of no more than | | $35 for the purchase of a personal computer under this | | subsection. |
|
| | | The additional costs associated with adopting rules concerning | | the sale of certain computers to fire departments can be absorbed | | by the Department of Administrative and Financial Services' | | Bureau of General Services utilizing existing budgeted resources. |
|
| | | Selling surplus computers to fire departments will reduce | | revenue to the Department of Administrative and Financial | | Services' Postal, Printing and Supply Fund. Currently, it costs | | the department approximately $35 to ready a surplus computer for | | sale and the average sale price is approximately $250. The | | estimated reduction of dedicated revenue is $215 per computer. | | The number of computers to be sold at this reduced price is not | | known and therefore the total revenue loss can not be determined | | at this time. However, the revenue loss is expected to be minor. |
|
| | | This bill is proposed in place of LD 1903, "Resolve, to | | Provide Computers to Rural Fire Stations." The bill specifies | | that a fire department may purchase one personal computer from | | the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau |
|
| | | of General Services to be used for the purpose of meeting the | | department's reporting requirements to the State Fire Marshal | | under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 25, section 2395. The | | Bureau of General Services may charge a fire department only the | | reasonable administrative and handling costs of no more than $35 | | for the purchase of a personal computer under this bill. |
