Bill Summary
Under current law, a county library commission and the board of trustees of any regional, municipal, or joint public library may purchase certain library materials without advertising for bids. These library materials include: books, periodicals, newspapers, documents, pamphlets, photographs, reproductions, microforms, pictorial or graphic works, musical scores, maps, charts, globes, sound recordings, slides, films, filmstrips, video and magnetic tapes, other printed or published matter, and audiovisual and other materials of a similar nature. This bill amends that law to allow public libraries to also dispose of those materials without advertising for bids.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws to allow public libraries, boards of education, and local governments (referred to as "contracting units") to dispose of certain personal property, such as books, documents, and audiovisual materials, without the requirement of advertising for bids. The bill also provides additional flexibility for these entities to sell or donate personal property that is no longer needed, without the need for public bidding processes in certain circumstances. The bill aims to streamline the disposal of these types of materials and assets that are no longer required for public use.
