SEC. 361. AUTHORITY TO ENSURE DEMILITARIZATION OF SIGNIFICANT MILITARY EQUIPMENT FORMERLY
OWNED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
(a) AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE DEMILITARIZATION AFTER DISPOSAL- Chapter 153 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting
after section 2572 the following new section:
`Sec. 2573. Significant military equipment: continued authority to require demilitarization after disposal
`(a) AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE DEMILITARIZATION- The Secretary of Defense may require any person in possession of significant military
equipment formerly owned by the Department of Defense--
`(1) to demilitarize the equipment,
`(2) to have the equipment demilitarized by a third party; or
`(3) to return the equipment to the Government for demilitarization.
`(b) COST AND VALIDATION OF DEMILITARIZATION- When the demilitarization of significant military equipment is carried out by the person
in possession of the equipment pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the person shall be solely responsible for all demilitarization
costs, and the United States shall have the right to validate that the equipment has been demilitarized.
`(c) RETURN OF EQUIPMENT TO GOVERNMENT- When the Secretary of Defense requires the return of significant military equipment for
demilitarization by the Government, the Secretary shall bear all costs to transport and demilitarize the equipment. If the person in possession of
the significant military equipment obtained the property in the manner authorized by law or regulation and the Secretary determines that the cost
to demilitarize and return the property to the person is prohibitive, the Secretary shall reimburse the person for the purchase cost of the property
and for the reasonable transportation costs incurred by the person to purchase the equipment.
`(d) ESTABLISHMENT OF DEMILITARIZATION STANDARDS- The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe by regulation what constitutes
demilitarization for each type of significant military equipment.
`(e) EXCEPTION FOR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS- This section does not apply when a person is in possession of significant military
equipment formerly owned by the Department of Defense for the purpose of demilitarizing the equipment pursuant to a Government contract.
`(f) DEFINITION OF SIGNIFICANT MILITARY EQUIPMENT- In this section, the term `significant military equipment' means--
`(1) an article for which special export controls are warranted under the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.) because of its
capacity for substantial military utility or capability, as identified on the United States Munitions List maintained under section 121.1 of
title 22, Code of Federal Regulations; and
`(2) any other article designated by the Department of Defense as requiring demilitarization before its disposal.'.
(b) CLERICAL AMENDMENT- The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section
2572 the following new item:
`2573. Significant military equipment: continued authority to require demilitarization after disposal.'.
I don't think that the definition would not apply to trucks.
There are 5 other versions of the bill. Some have section 361. At least one does not.
