(a) In order to enable the Oil and Gas Commission to carry out its duties in the most effective and efficient manner, the commission is authorized, in consultation with the Secretary of the Department of Energy and Environment, to acquire and maintain for use by field personnel full-sized sedan automobiles equipped with V-8 engines in the three-hundred-fifty-cubic-inch displacement range, limited slip differentials, and vinyl seat covers.
(b) Since marked cars sometimes prove a hindrance to the commission in carrying out its inspection, investigation, and enforcement responsibilities, the commission is exempted from any and all laws and administrative rules regarding special registration tags and special decals for state-owned vehicles.
